Ridgeview, Oak Reserve Late Disgorged, England, United Kingdom NV

Aged in both old and new Burgundy and Loire oak barrels with partial malolactic fermentation, this is the late-disgorged edition of the estate's Oak Reserve, spending a total of 60 months on lees. Banana peel and creamy vanilla pastry reveal golden apple and lemon sherbet on the nose. Zingy lemon acidity shines through, accompanied by dried mango, cinnamon-seasoned apple pie, and white pepper spices. Honey-roasted almonds and yeasty depth lead to a long, moreish finish. A unique, characterful sparkling wine that captivates with its depth and complexity, and unmistakable English charm.
