Sarah Driver, Rathfinny Co-Owner, said, “As always, we’re delighted to be promoting fellow British producers, but it’s especially important during this difficult time to support these businesses.”
Buoyant online sales of premium drink brands appear to be one of the few bright spots in an industry that has been hit hard by successive lockdowns. Rathfinny Co-Owner, Mark Driver said, “Many of us are looking to treat ourselves and loved ones in some small way during these tough times, and many are looking for something a little bit different from their usual sparkling wine to consume at home – something they cannot find on the supermarket shelves. Stating that; There is an increase in buying directly from the Vineyard because it makes their purchase feel more personal – they can read about the people working at the Estate and the skills and passion put into producing these hand-crafted, vintage wines.”
Rathfinny Wine Estate in East Sussex is one of the country’s most admired Vineyards. Its Sussex Sparkling wines rival the world’s finest “Traditional Method” sparkling wines and are sold in many of the country’s leading restaurants and hotels. With many people looking to support British businesses that offer a trusted and reliable service, it is no wonder Rathfinny’s sales have been boosted by highly enthusiastic reviews from leading wine critics, such as Will Lyons (Sunday Times wine columnist) who described the 2016 Blanc de Noirs as: “Decadent and World Class.”
For those wishing to gift an experience to their mothers to look forward to when COVID restrictions relax, Rathfinny also offers a range of gift vouchers to enjoy all the Sussex Estate has to offer. Experiences include overnight packages to stay at the beautifully restored Flint Barns, situated in the heart of the Vineyard, along with Estate tours and three-course lunches at their Michelin Plate Tasting Room restaurant.
