Traditional Method Sparkling Wine
At Rathfinny, we have handcrafted four vintage, low-intervention, Traditional Method sparkling wine – a Blanc de Noirs, Blanc de Blancs, Rosé and Classic Cuvée. Despite their different styles, each wine is an expression of our Sussex location, boasting a low sugar content, autolytic notes from maturation on lees and a notable presence of our house-style Pinot Noir within the blend (except the Chardonnay-based Blanc de Blancs).
All of our sparkling wines, crafted in Sussex, are available to order online for delivery in the UK.
Sustainable English Sparkling Wine
Sustainability is at the heart of Rathfinny, passionately led by our founder, Sarah Driver. From our hands-on, chemical-free viticulture practices and low-intervention winemaking philosophy, to choosing to hire a local workforce and investing in conservation work on our Estate; we always consider our wider impact on the environment, community, customers and our team. As of March 2023, we are proud to be a B Corp.
The Benefits of our Sussex Vineyard
We define terroir as a combination of the weather, soil and the people. In other words, the environment in which the grapes are grown. The shallow but fertile, clay loam soils over chalk are free draining and perfect for growing sparkling wine grapes. Chalk provides a ready source of water for the vines during the drier summer months, the warm semi-continental climate and long summer days ensure perfect ripening, and the proximity to the sea helps mitigate frost risk in late spring months, a major problem in cooler climate vineyards in Northern Europe.
Order from our Cellar to your Door
The benefit of purchasing from us directly means your wine arrive at your door in perfect condition as they have been carefully stored in our temperature-controlled cellar. For birthdays, anniversaries, weddings and other celebrations, choose a gift box for extra special presentation. Delivery is complimentary on orders over £100, or visit us and collect your wine free of charge and take a look around the Vineyard whilst you’re here.
