Introducing our Cradle Valley Pinot Gris 2023 from Rathfinny’s sister label. Our still wine collection showcases our commitment to exceptional quality, with each vintage crafted from hand-harvested grapes grown on the south-facing chalk slope of Cradle Valley.
Our Cradle Valley collection expresses the character of our family Estate in Sussex, made with methods that are kind to our land, people, community and wider environment.
Tasting Note
A light pear nose yields a rich palate of peach and apricot, with a long saline finish.
Food Match
Pair with a delicious crab linguine.
The 2023 Vintage
The very warm spring of 2023 gave way to a wet summer, but a warm late summer period pulled through and yielded a sizeable harvest of ripe grapes.
