English sparkling wines for every festive moment

Christmas lives in the small, special moments – the little habits that became rituals we return to year after year: decorating the tree, presents wrapped, stockings filled and the scent of the roast in the oven. These are the moments that shape Christmas, brought to life by the wines we pour alongside them. At Ridgeview, we’ve been reflecting on our own festive traditions and the wines we share when those moments arrive.

 

The Celebration Starter

Bloomsbury NV

When the festivities begin, Bloomsbury NV is the bottle to reach for. Fresh, fruit driven and effortlessly crowd pleasing, it brings brightness and lift to the start of every gathering – whether you’re hosting Christmas Eve drinks, welcoming friends for a party or raising the first toast on New Year’s Eve.

Its citrus freshness and fruit-driven palate make it beautifully suited to smoked salmon, canapés and appetisers that open a festive evening. Elegant and easy to enjoy, it sets the tone for the celebration ahead.

Showstopping Magnums

For larger gatherings, magnums offer an impressive welcome with an added sense of occasion. Ridgeview’s Magnum Bloomsbury NV brings greater depth than its well-loved bottle format. With slower ageing there are layered fruit, biscuity complexity and a beautifully creamy mousse that make it an impressive centrepiece for parties and a naturally generous aperitif to pour for a crowd.

And for truly special celebrations, our vintage Magnum Blanc de Blancs 2010 brings an elevated refinement. Aged for over a decade, it offers richness, precision and a long, pure finish – a striking choice for New Year’s Eve, gifting or those once-a-year moments that call for something exceptional.

When Canapés Call

Cavendish NV

Winter hosting is defined by warmth and flavour, and few things set the tone better than a table of thoughtfully served canapés. Mushroom tartlets, salmon pâté, smoked trout or richly seasoned small bites all bring their own character, and Cavendish NV accentuates them beautifully.

Depth and finesse shape this wine. Its red-berry brightness, subtle toasted-almond notes and gentle richness give it the adaptability hosts rely on. The Pinots add structure and complexity; the Chardonnay brings freshness and finesse, and together they deliver balance that complements both delicate and bold winter flavours.

Versatile and generous, Cavendish rises to every food-focused festive occasion.

Festive Feasting & Christmas Lunch

Ridgeview Blanc de Noirs

Christmas lunch deserves a sparkling wine with real presence, and for our winemaking team, Blanc de Noirs is the bottle they would never be without when roast dinner is served.

Its depth, structure and subtle Pinot spice make it an exceptional match for the flavours that define the festive table. From crispy roast potatoes to herb-seasoned stuffing, caramelised vegetables, cranberry brightness and the savoury richness of roasted meats or vegetarian centrepieces, this wine has the weight and complexity to meet every element head on.

Red-fruit purity, warm spice and a gentle, pastry-like richness give Blanc de Noirs its signature character, allowing it to stand up to bold flavours while maintaining remarkable finesse. The result is a sparkling that doesn’t just accompany Christmas lunch – it transforms it, becoming part of the feast itself.

Balanced, expressive and crafted with intent, Blanc de Noirs is the Ridgeview choice for the heart of the day.

When Seafood takes Centre Stage

Ridgeview Blanc de Blancs

Seafood has a quiet but impressive place on British festive tables. From retro prawn cocktails to creamy fish pie or a traditional Seven Fishes Feast on Christmas Eve, these lighter dishes call for a sparkling wine with clarity and finesse. Ridgeview’s limited-release Blanc de Blancs fits that beautifully.

Crafted from 100% Chardonnay from our heritage vineyard on our home Sussex estate, this limited-release vintage offers bright orchard fruit, warm apricot notes and a fine, persistent mousse. A touch of savoury salinity mirrors coastal flavours, while its clean, long finish keeps every mouthful lifted. Refined and expressive, it enhances the delicate sweetness of prawns or scallops and the meaty richness of cod and haddock with ease.

Beautifully balanced and quietly impressive, it’s the bottle to pour when seafood takes centre stage in your festive celebrations.

When the Evening Unwinds

Ridgeview Sparkling Red Reserve

Cosy winter evenings invite a slower, more relaxed kind of celebration – the kind built around grazing, light bites and the quiet pleasure of picking at nibbles while the night draws in. Sparkling Red Reserve is made for these moments. Highly aromatic with wild blackberry, cherry and hints of vanilla, it carries a deep forest-fruit character and bright, sweet spice that complement a wide range of winter favourites.

It pairs beautifully with creamy Brie and blue cheeses, with enough richness to stand up to aged Cheddar, Stilton and nutty alpine styles. Its dark-fruit depth also works effortlessly with charcuterie, smoked or peppered meats and glazed nuts. And for fans of the nation’s favourite – M&S picky bits – it’s exceptional with Tangy Brie & Cranberry Tartlets, Chicken Tikka Masala Mini Naan Bites or Pad Thai Spring Rolls.

Layered, expressive and quietly indulgent, Sparkling Red Reserve turns a simple evening spread into something memorable without overpowering it.

When It’s Time for Something Sweet

Ridgeview Sparkling Rosé

Desserts call for wines with lift and brightness – bottles that bring freshness to fruit, balance to cream and a sense of celebration to the final course. Ridgeview’s rosés both shine here, each with its own character and charm. Whether you’re sharing a showstopping pudding, assembling a late-night plate of sweet treats or simply pouring something pretty as the evening softens, Ridgeview rosé brings a joyful finish to the moments when sweetness takes centre stage.

Ridgeview Fitzrovia NV Rosé

Fitzrovia Rosé is all about pure, joyful fruit. Delicate in colour with a fine, lively mousse, it offers notes of wild raspberry, cherry blossom and honeyed redcurrant. The palate is bright and spring fresh, filled with sherbet-like energy and balanced by a soft, creamy finish.

It’s a perfect match for berry-led desserts from pavlova to fruit tarts or a berry coulis and is especially good with an Eton Mess. Light, refreshing and quietly playful, Fitzrovia Rosé lifts the sweetness of a pudding without weighing it down.

Ridgeview Rosé de Noirs 2020

For something more refined, Rosé de Noirs 2020 brings depth and elegance. A peach-gold hue with expressive aromas of redcurrant, summer berries and honey, it delivers vivid flavours of strawberry and cherry, with hints of orange, cranberry and delicate biscuit. Its rounded mouthfeel and long, poised finish make it a striking match for richer fruit desserts – trifle, berry crumble, poached pears or anything with bright red fruit at its heart.

Made in extremely small quantities from our finest Pinot grapes, it’s a sophisticated way to finish a festive meal, offering structure and finesse where sweetness meets complexity.
