2015 Rathfinny Blanc de Noirs, Traditional Method Sparkling, Sussex

Tasting Notes

"An enticing blush sets the scene for perfumed peony and wild strawberry on the nose, while on the palate, its rich mousse of raspberries and toasted almonds gives way to a caramelised red-apple finish. 65% Pinot Noir, 35% Pinot Meunier, 36 months lees ageing."


Vineyard Information

Rathfinny Estate in East Sussex was founded in 2010 by husband and wife, Mark and Sarah Driver. Once a working arable farm, the first vines were planted in 2012 and today Rathfinny comprises over 200 acres of predominantly Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier.The estate occupies the main part of 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, about a half a mile south of Alfriston village. The light, thin, clay loam soils over chalk are free draining and very similar to the Champagne region of France. EnglandEuro24


Vintage Description

Spring arrived late in 2015 after a cold winter, both budburst and flowering were a week later than 2014, but we had a reasonable flowering and a warm summer which helped ripen a small crop. Harvest began on the 19th October and despite the rainfall in August and September the fruit was very clean and of good quality.
