Last week I opened the Ridgeview Cuvee Brut, I've been looking forward to this for some time. An English sparkling wine to match my favourite spanish Cava's would be a great addition to the cellar.
reviews had led me to expect a golden wine, good balance of sweetness and acidity. Unfortunately I was sadly disapointed. Its exceedingly rare for me to pour away a Cava or Cuvee but this time I was defeated, it was a complicated wine, too many tastes vying with each other and the acidic overtones mentioned in reviews overpowered any sweetness. It tasted raw and unfinished, maybe another year or two would help mature it, maybe I just got a bad bottle ........... I hope its the latter as I have another bottle of this waiting but feeling disinclined to open it just yet.
