A celebration of the depth and elegance of English Pinot Noir, Ridgeview’s Blanc de Noirs is crafted only in the most exceptional vintage years. Produced exclusively from hand-selected grape parcels, this vintage reflects the outstanding quality of the golden 2016 growing season. Balancing finesse with intensity, it reveals layers of complexity that unfold on the palate. A standout toast for special occasions and a gastronomic companion to memorable meals.
“Blanc de Noirs is one of my favourite blends,” Head Winemaker, Simon Roberts tells us. “Pinot Noir is notoriously challenging to grow, but the results are so worth it. We’re seeing consistently exceptional quality Pinot grapes from our vineyards, and it’s a joy to produce a Blanc de Noirs that truly showcases the potential of this remarkable style of sparkling wine.”
With a palate-tingling profile and vibrant red-fruit flavours, there are captivating aromas of pear, honeysuckle, berries and black cherry. Richly textured with a full-bodied backbone, the palate brims with peach, honeyed apricot and buttery pastry.
Quintessentially complex, layers of apricot, liquorice and aromatic spice unfold over toasted notes of sweet vanilla and honey. Delicate, yet full-bodied, a light mousse leads to a long, lingering finish.

A style celebrated for its versatility and food-pairing prowess, our Blanc de Noirs 2016 has both the backbone for big, bold flavours and the elegant poise for the more delicate of dishes.
The rich, red-fruit notes complement meaty dishes like succulent duck or smoky ham hock, while its vibrant acidity lifts the savoury umami of mushrooms. This balance of power and elegance makes it an exceptional choice for a wide range of culinary pairings— including our Head Winemaker’s favourite match – a Sunday roast that’s brimming with trimmings.
“This vintage in particular is bursting with big, juicy flavours that open up incredible food pairing possibilities,” says Simon. “It’s amazing with Asian flavours, spicy dishes, and even shines alongside seafood. For something truly unexpected, try it with a creamy pasta dish—it’s a game-changer!”
