I had the blanc de blanc. Very pleasing freshness and persistence. This is seriously well made and refined. A worthy contender in the burgeoning English sparkling wine scene. — 9 years ago

The pale gold tint shows a little more color than you may expect in a Chardonnay. The nose is elegant and restrained, with apples and pineapples joining a light touch of oak. On the palate, that oak gets a little noisier. The wine is reminiscent of an old-line California Chardonnay, buttery and a bit fat with a wonderful, creamy mouthfeel. The difference between California and Rhode Island comes in the minerality - the eastern earth is more pronounced than in those big, ol’ Chardonnays from the West. — 9 years ago

Proof that the beat English fizz can age beautifully. A rare magnum from Ridgeview; pioneers of the English winemaking revival and still one of its greatest producers. The Blanc de Blanc style is becoming an English classic. — 10 years ago

Not quite as good as their brut offering, but they are making really good sparkling wine. Bright well balanced flavors and creamy mouse on finish. One of the better English producers I've had. — 8 years ago

Quite a pale coloured sparkling wine with a quite light bouquet of pear. The taste is a delightful but delicate ripe pear and lime. Quite soft and refreshing albeit the aftertaste is relatively short-lived. Lacks the complexity of a full blown champagne but I rank this 'grower' English sparkling wine as superior to Nyetimber's classic cuvée. Ultimately very quaffable and (currently) very good value. Recommended. — 9 years ago

The wine is clear and bright with a medium lemon colour.
The nose is clean and fully developed, showing medium+ intensity aromas of lemon peel, rye bread, brioche, green apple and hints of honey.
The wine is medium-sweet, with a high well-integrated acidity. It has a medium alcohol and a medium+ body. It has medium+ intensity flavours and a medium finish.
It is a very good quality wine. Demi-sec are not my style, but it has a wonderful balance between acidity and sweetness, and it shows a quite decent complexity provided by autolytic and maturity notes. However it is a bit short. — 10 years ago
