Description
England: East Sussex
Sparkling White
Brut
ABV 12.0% - 75.0cl
In a Nutshell:
This is Rathfinny's estate-grown Sussex sparkling, made in the traditional method and defined by its dry, chalk-edged precision.
The Lowdown:
If England had a Champagne belt, Rathfinny would sit bang in the middle of it among the chalky folds and ridges of the South Downs. And they turn out wines that make the comparison not fanciful at all. The 2019 Classic Cuvee is the estate's house-style blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier, aged three years on lees for depth and balance. A low 5 g/L dosage keeps it on the drier side of Brut, so the apple and citrus fruit stay crisp, the brioche note restrained and the finish long and mineral. Firm, focused and very precisely made.
The Producer:
Rathfinny Wine Estate is one of the stars in England's sparkling wine scene. Founded by Mark and Sarah Driver in 2010, it nestles amidst the chalky South Downs, a mere hop from dramatic Beachy Head. This prime terroir, with its protective slopes, ripens grapes beautifully. Their focus is on the classic trio of grapes - Pinot Noir, Meunier, and Chardonnay. Their blends are impeccable, showcasing a mastery that's propelled them to the forefront of English sparkling winemaking.
When to Drink:
A dry English fizz that shines by itself, yet'll hold its own with a hearty chicken and mushroom pie.
