Ridgeview, Bloomsbury, Sussex, England, 2010

Tasting: UK Sparkling

Austere, tight – too young, perhaps? Does seem a bit green and pinched overall.

Tasting: UK Sparkling

Lovely fine mousse. Gentle hints of gris in the colour. Very attractive fruit-forward nose, but with brioche complexity.The palate is very well balanced, with very focussed and well-expressed strawberry fruit notes, and in spite of a fresh acidity, this is drinking very well now

Tasting: UK Sparkling

Powerful fruit and yeasty nose. Palate is slightly weak in the middle and is dominated by the relatively high dosage. Tails off and doesn’t leave much of an impression.
