Rosé de Noirs 2018

Visually stunning, this is a wine of incredible delicacy and abundance of character, balancing a full mousse with a silky, smooth texture. Rose-gold in colour, aromatic cherry blossom and raspberry macaron burst from the glass. An expressive palate of summer fruits is layered with sweet spice and pastry set against a brilliant balancing acidity for a long, creamy finish.

Ridgeview Rosé de Noir Talking Tasting Notes

Grapes were sourced from our original estate vines, along with carefully selected partner vineyards across Southern England; typically south facing, with free draining slopes, on varied chalk, clay, gravel and sandstone soils. These sites range from between 10-50 metres above sea level, benefitting from a cool, maritime climate.

Made in Ridgeview’s unique interpretation of the ‘saignée’ method, our hand-picked grapes rested for 6-12 hours on their skins, naturally imparting colour and character into the juice, before gentle whole-bunch pressing. Fermentation took place at 18-20°C in stainless steel tanks, using classic sparkling wine yeasts, with a selection of base wines going through malolactic conversion. Following secondary bottle fermentation in the optimum conditions of our purpose-built underground cellar, our Rosé de Noirs 2018 rested on its lees for a minimum of 36 months.
