Wine producer: Ridgeview Wine Estate
Ridgeview is a family company dedicated to the production of the highest quality English sparkling wine based on the South Downs of England. Founded in 1995 by the Roberts family, our dedication, passion and determination have significantly contributed to the international reputation and popularity now attributed to English sparkling wine. The original site on the base of the South Downs national park was chosen for its suitability in geography and climate, which is incredibly suited for sparkling wine production.
Throughout our 20-year history Ridgeview we have won many accolades including English wine of the year four times and the trophy for ‘Best Sparkling Wine’ at the Decanter World Wine Awards, the only time the award has been given to a wine produced outside of Champagne. Our wines have been served by Her Majesty at state banquets at Buckingham Palace and for the official Queens Diamond Jubilee celebrations. We are also currently holders of Sussex Small Business of the Year, Sussex Drinks Producer of the Year and London/South East Family Business of the Year FBU. Ridgeview is now the official sparkling wine served at all No. 10 Downing Street receptions. Worldwide demand for Ridgeview wines continues to grow with thriving international markets in the USA, Scandinavia and Japan.
Founder Mike Roberts (1943 – 2014) was awarded an MBE for his services to English wine 2011. The second generation of the Roberts family now have lead roles in the Business, with Tamara Roberts as CEO and Simon Roberts as Head Winemaker. Ridgeview continue to develop as a pioneer within the English wine industry with the reputation of producing the best quality sparkling wine that England has to offer.
