As with my previous experiences with Ridgeview, I found this Chardonnay bubbly very good. It isn't cheap at just under 30€ but considering the outrageous pricing of most drinkable Champagne in Finland, this English bubbly is a very welcome addition to our monopoly - all the more so because it easily bests most Champagnes of similar price we have!
29,10€; 12% abv; 7g/l acidity; 11,6g/l RS. A very attractive scent with the citrus and white flowers of Chardonnay and a bit of bread from the autolysis. The palate is more on the rich side with quite noticeable dosage and ripe fruit from a warm year. Small, elegant mousse. Pleasant acidity, good minerality, racy despite some richness. Really very nice! Good now, but I think it might go in a direction I like even more over the next few years.
