Still Sussex Wines produced on the Rathfinny Wine Estate

As well as producing Sussex Sparkling wines we also make a limited amount of Sussex still wine under the Cradle Valley label.

Cradle Valley is a boutique portfolio of still wines that elegantly express a time and place. Each vintage is crafted from hand-harvested grapes grown on the Rathfinny Wine Estate, 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.

Pinot Gris Wine

Our Cradle Valley white still wines are light and crisp and are generally made from a blend of Pinot Gris and Pinot Blanc although we occasionally blend these grape varieties with our Chardonnay.

Rosé Wine

Our Cradle Valley Rosé is made from Pinot Noir, carefully hand-harvested from our Sussex Estate. We whole-bunch press our grapes, producing a wine that is pristine coral to the eye.
