United Kingdom
Our family-run Wine Estate with B Corp status, established in 2010 by Mark and Sarah Driver, is dedicated to producing some of the world’s finest English sparkling wines from a single-site Sussex Vineyard. Located on a wonderful south-facing slope in England’s South Downs, the climate, chalk soil and aspect make it the perfect UK Vineyard for producing Sussex Sparkling wine.
Our low-intervention, Traditional Method, vintage Sussex Sparkling wines are a true expression of our terroir. Produced from hand-harvested grapes that are whole-bunch pressed and patiently matured, on lees and in bottle to develop rich, autolytic notes, with a low dosage that emphasises the purity of our fruit.
Rathfinny Sussex Sparkling wines are only found in the finest restaurants, independent wine merchants or available directly from our Cellar Door.
Discover fine dining at our Michelin-recommended Tasting Room Restaurant with Balcony Bar, with panoramic views of our Sussex Vineyard. For more informal meals, savour the comforting and generous dishes at our Flint Barns Dining Room and Courtyard. Drop by our alfresco Wine Bar, The Hut or enjoy seasonal dining offers and events.
