IWSC TROPHY FOR UK PRODUCER OF THE YEAR: RIDGEVIEW WINE ESTATES
Ridgeview was founded by the Roberts family in 1994, dedicated solely to the production of the highest quality sparkling wine from traditional Champagne varieties and methods.
The site on the South Downs of England was chosen for its similarities in terroir to Champagne and its cool climate weather conditions. In just 11 years, Ridgeview has won over 140 medals and 20 trophies in international and national competitions, including the IWSC trophy for Bottle Fermented Sparkling Wine in 2005 and again in 2011.
Most recently, Ridgeview’s sparkling wine was served at the state banquet at Buckingham Palace hosted by Her Majesty the Queen in honour of President Obama. Ridgeview founder Mike Roberts was recently awarded an MBE for his services to the English wine industry.
The estate has now been enhanced by partnership vineyards throughout the south-east of England to assist in expansion plans. The passion, determination and professionalism of the Roberts family of Ridgeview and a dedicated team have largely contributed to the recent renaissance in quality and popularity of English sparkling wine on the global stage.
