Rathfinny Wine Estate
Alfriston, East Sussex
BN26 5TU
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 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, our wines are fresh and elegant, with a low dosage that emphasises the purity of our fruit.
Indulge in comforting, seasonal dishes at the Flint Barns Dining Room, or savour a relaxed glass of wine at our alfresco wine bar, The Hut. We also host a range of seasonal dining experiences and events throughout the year.
