Rathfinny Estate Classic Cuvée 2018

From one of the best vintages of the decade, Rathfinny Estate Classic Cuvée 2018 is a blend of 50% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay and 15% Pinot Meunier with stainless steel tank fermentation and 30 months lees-ageing in the bottle before release. In the glass this wine shows a radiant golden hue with a fresh nose of red fruits, spiced ginger and cinnamon. The palate is rich and immediately inviting with white apricot, almonds and crème pâtissière with nuances of honeydew melon and toast on the finish. A versatile, food-friendly Sparkling that will pair well with a classic battered cod and chips, pan fried scallops or simply enjoyed on its own. A superb third release, cementing Rathfinny Estate as one of Sussex's finest English Sparkling wine producers and for sub £32, this is an absolute steal!

“This is all about purity of fruit, with notes of red berries and red apple, almost autumnal, but fresh and elegant at the same time. It’s a rounded and gentle wine that would be a great partner for fish and chips.” – 92 Pts, Decanter Magazine
