Introducing Rathfinny 2019 Blanc de Noirs

Proudly served by Sommelier Remi Cousins at Le Gavroche and Sommelier Maria at Da Terra, our signature Sussex Sparkling is made from 81% Pinot Noir and 19% Pinot Meunier and has spent 36 months in bottle.

“The nose is charming and attractive. Lots of red fruits going on. From strawberry, raspberry, redcurrants to cherry griotte…The wine shows a stony minerality. The palate is really refreshing, with a sharp and clean acidity but as well a certain roundness in the mouth. A glass calls another.”  Remi Cousins

About the 2019 Vintage

The 2019 growing season started early. We experienced record breaking temperatures during late July and a very warm August, but a wet end to September and October. Whilst harvest was soggy, the fruit prevailed and produced some lovely wines that pay homage to the long hot summer.

New 2019 vintages

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. We aim to preserve the wonderful natural flavours of the grapes with as little intervention as possible.
