OUR STORY

Since 1995, our family has been producing world-class English sparkling wine in Sussex, focusing on quality and sustainability from grape to glass.

Our greatest joy is to share this with you, to celebrate life’s big milestones and those little moments in between.

From a visit to our vineyard to raising a Ridgeview toast, there is always a joyful reminder, that…

FAMILY ROOTS

It began with a pioneering vision nearly 30 years ago: to create exceptional sparkling wine in the heart of Sussex, that would be celebrated around the world. Many thought it couldn’t be done, but we were set to put English winemaking on the global stage.

We found a beautiful spot beneath the South Downs Ridge, perfectly positioned to grow the traditional grape varieties used in the world’s finest sparkling wine. With passion and determination, we became leaders of the English wine revolution.

Today, we are led by the second generation of our family with a globally acclaimed, award-winning range of English Sparkling Wine that makes every occasion something to celebrate.

From grape to glass

As specialists in cool climate viticulture and sustainable winemaking, our philosophy remains today as it always been: exceptional quality from vine to glass.

We use only the finest, perfectly balanced grapes, handpicked in bunches and gently pressed. From fermentation through to ageing, blending and bottling, our winemaking team combine traditional methods with contemporary expertise.

Delicately crafted, our wines are distinctive in their purity, elegance and complexity, with a memorable moment to be found in every glass.

Sustainable and Ethical Practices

Our Grape Growers

Alongside hand-picked grapes from the heritage vines on our home estate in Sussex, we partner with premiere vineyards across Southern England to source superior fruit from some of the greatest growers around.

Dedicated to their land and the grapes they grow, each vineyard plays an important part in the Ridgeview story.

“Diversifying our grape sources from select vineyards is key to the quality of wine we produce. All have very different characteristics and contribute something special to our English sparkling wine.”
