Introducing our Cradle Valley Pinot Noir Précoce 2023 from Rathfinny’s still wine sister label. Our Cradle Valley collection is usually sold exclusively on our Estate, but we’re pleased to offer this new release online for a limited time so you can enjoy a bottle wherever you are in the UK.
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 plum cherry red appearance and a bright, crunchy nose of red summer fruits, cherry and herbal notes, translating to raspberry and wild strawberry on the palate. The finish shows sweet fine tannins and a hint of cranberry.
Food Match
Match with light game, poultry, salads, light fresh pasta dishes and Sussex charcuterie or cheeses. We’ve recently been enjoying pairing the Pinot Noir Précoce with beef tartare in the Tasting Room.
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.
About Cradle Valley
Rathfinny Estate is located in the South Downs National Park, an area of outstanding natural beauty in Southern England. It occupies the main part of the Cradle Valley, on a south-facing slope close to the iconic Cuckmere Valley, just three miles from the sea and the famous Seven Sisters cliffs.
