When it comes to enjoying sparkling wine to the full, a well-chosen glass can be your secret weapon. Wine responds to its surroundings from the very first pour and a good glass will bring out its best.
How we interpret wine is a sensory experience (engaging sight, smell and taste) and your glass plays a big part in that. These simple guidelines make it easy to choose a glass that highlights the unique qualities of your sparkling wine.
Riedel Wine Glass Company (founded in 1756) were the first to recognise that the taste and aroma of wine is affected by the shape of the glass. Renowned for the creation of grape varietal-specific stemware, Riedel introduced a new specialised English sparkling wine glass in 2023 – the Riedel Veloce.
Developed after extensive independent tastings at English vineyards (concluding at Ridgeview’s home vineyard in Sussex), the Riedel Veloce English Sparkling Wine Glass design was found. Praised as the perfect glass to experience the complex characteristics of English Sparkling Wine, it is based on their classic Riesling shape, with the addition of a ‘sparkling point’ to aid the formation of the bubbles.
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.
