Classic Cuvée 2018

Rathfinny Estate Classic Cuvée 2018

East Sussex, England, 75cl

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! 

"The nose is a wonderful combination of ripeness and freshness, of crushed, white strawberry and citrus zestiness, wrapped up in creaminess. The palate comes in with briskness that speaks of the estate's customary low dosage, but it sits well with the beautifully sunny from from the ripe 2018 vintage. There is an inherent balance and a beautiful depth of fruit that makes the mid-palate serene, elegant, chalky and taut. Lively bubbles enhance that feeling. There is concentration here and a whole lot of elegance. Lovely and bright now but certain to benefit from further bottle age." - 93 Pts, Anne Krebiehl MW
