Ridgeview’s beautiful vineyard and winery is nestled at the foot of the South Downs in the village of Ditchling. They are in an ideal location, set within the picturesque South Downs National Park, famous for its chalky Champagnesque soils.
This 2011 Blanc de Blanc is made from 100% Chardonnay from Ridgeviews home block Chardonnay vineyard. It has a substantial bottle age that has allowed it to evolve into a stunning example of English sparkling wine. Elegant, pale gold with silvery highlights in the glass. The nose has classic lemon zest aromas alongside vintage-specific notes of peach, lychee and pineapple. The generous fruit on the nose and palate is balanced by a complex hazelnut and toasted brioche character. The palate offers a ripe, rounded body to compliment the bright acidity and elegant mousse. There is a saline minerality that lingers long on the finely-balanced finish.
