Rathfinny Estate Classic Cuvee Brut Sussex Sparkling 75cl

Rathfinny 2018 Classic Cuvée is the third vintage of there classic, ‘house-style’ Sussex Sparkling, made in the Traditional Method from Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay grapes grown and hand-harvested on the Rathfinny Wine Estate.

Often referred to as the vintage of the decade, 2018 was one of the warmest summers on record. A mini heatwave developed from April onwards, bringing on early flowering and the dry weather promoted good fruit set. New temperature records were set in July and August and despite heavy rain in early September, the weather during harvest in October was very favourable and we picked very clean fruit with an ideal balance of sugars and acidity for our Sussex Sparkling wines.

 

TASTING NOTE.

A buttermilk golden hue beckons in a nose of ginger-dusted white plums on cinnamon toast, a rich palate of white apricot and creme patissiere with nuances of preserved Meyer lemon on the finish.

FOOD MATCH.

A superbly versatile foil to the fresh flavours of linguini with clams and fennel right through to duck prosciutto and ham hock terrine.

BLEND - 50% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay and 15% Pinot Meunier

DOSAGE - 5g/L

 

“This wine – the third release and from one of the best vintages of the decade – really shows what the estate is capable of: a pinot-dominated blend, exuding poise and finesse, with finely chiselled flavours of citrus, apricots and hints of cream. Complete class in a glass.”  - Terry Kirby, The Independent
