Ridgeview Bloomsbury Sussex NV – Elegant English Sparkling Wine
Premium English Sparkling Wine from Sussex
Crafted in the heart of the South Downs, Ridgeview Bloomsbury Sussex NV is a celebrated English sparkling wine that exemplifies the quality of cool-climate viticulture. Produced by award-winning Ridgeview Wine Estate, this non-vintage cuvée combines 60% Chardonnay, 25% Pinot Noir, and 15% Pinot Meunier to deliver a vibrant, well-balanced expression of English terroir.
Tasting Notes
Expect a pale golden hue with a fine, persistent mousse. On the nose, creamy lemon zest, white peach, and a subtle touch of honeyed brioche unfold elegantly. The palate offers crisp acidity, underpinned by gentle autolytic notes from 18 months of maturation on the lees. The finish is long, fresh, and refined — a true hallmark of Ridgeview’s house style.

| Winery | The Bloomsbury is made from up to 40 different component base wines from grapes sourced from 28-year-old vines from the original Ridgeview vineyards and carefully selected partner vineyards across Southern England. These are generally south-facing sites, with free draining slopes, in and around the English South Downs, with a couple in East Anglia. The sites are on a combination of chalk, clay, gravel, and sandstone soils and range between 10 to 50 meters in elevation, with a cool maritime climate. Sourcing grapes from multiple vineyards allows for maximizing complexity and consistency. The vines are trained to Vertical Shoot Positioning, the best fit for the climate, resulting in better sunshine interception and disease management. The vines are mostly Guyot pruned, single or double, depending on vine vigour. Ridgeview is working closely with Marco Simonit to preserve older vines and ensure the longevity of younger vines by advocating correct, gentle pruning and maintenance. The vines are managed sustainably, including annual tissue analysis, three-yearly soil analysis including soil organic matter content, annual worm count, and management of the estate woodland. All grapes are hand-harvested. |
