Long lees ageing adds subtle creaminess and pastry notes, while the low dosage keeps the finish bone dry and saline. Sustainably produced from estate grown fruit and crafted in Rathfinny’s unmistakably elegant house style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaste\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePale gold with a fine, persistent mousse.
