Rathfinny Classic Cuvee Brut English Sparkling

An expressive English sparkling wine crafted in the traditional method from hand-harvested Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier grapes. Produced by Rathfinny, a family-run, grower-producer located in the South Downs of Sussex, this wine reflects the purity of its single-site origin. The clay-loam soils over chalk and the regions semi-continental climate create ideal conditions for producing structured, fruit-forward sparkling wines. Whole-bunch pressing, extended lees ageing and a low dosage result in a precise, elegant style with exceptional clarity and finesse. Every stage of production is completed on the estate to ensure full control over quality and expression.
