We caught up with Head Winemaker, Simon Roberts, on the art of blending and his hopes for the 2022 vintage
It’s when we can truly be creative and put our stamp on the winemaking process. We are lucky to source fruit from all over southern England, each parcel from each vineyard across the country has it’s own unique flavour profile.
As much as you might try not to, it is difficult not to impart at least some of your character. Each of our wines tells a story.”
Due to the hot, dry summer the fruit was beautifully ripe and full of very concentrated flavours. I’m very excited to get started blending these vintage wines.
This year (a rare delight for a winemaker) every tank has something amazing to offer. We are making the very best of this extraordinary vintage and hope to have some wonderful wines to share with you, in time.”
Experience Ridgeview in a whole new way with our debut Still Chardonnay. Bursting with vibrant fruit flavours and elegant floral notes, our new still Chardonnay charts exciting new horizons for world-class English winemaking.
Complex, deeply layered and deliciously food-friendly, it’s made for bringing people together and savouring life’s special moments over a sumptuous dish or two. Now available online or at our vineyard restaurant, The Rows & Vine.
