91 Points - David Allen, MW. Made from a classic Sussex blend of Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, this is a structured, focused sparkling wine that leans into red fruit purity rather than overt richness. Long lees ageing brings gentle pastry depth, while low dosage keeps everything tight, dry and refreshing. A clear expression of estate fruit from the South Downs, shaped by chalk soils and a cool maritime climate.

Taste

Rose gold in colour with a fine, persistent mousse. The nose opens with wild strawberry, red cherry and orange peel, followed by hints of brioche and toasted almond. The palate is precise and dry, showing stewed red berries, crisp apple and a subtle savoury edge. Bright acidity drives a long, saline finish with a gently nutty aftertaste.

About the Producer

Rathfinny Wine Estate is a single-site producer in Sussex’s South Downs, founded by Mark and Sarah Driver with a focus on traditional method sparkling wines made exclusively from estate grown fruit. The estate is planted mainly to Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier on chalk soils close to the English Channel, giving the wines their characteristic precision and freshness. Long lees ageing (around 36 months), low dosage and a commitment to sustainable viticulture define the house style, producing wines that are consistently dry, structured and clearly rooted in place.

Wine Press Ratings

91 Points - David Allen, MW (2020 Vintage)

"The wine has a pale to medium yellow color and a fine bead of small bubbles. Restrained citric aromas have toasty, yeasty and honeyed hints. The palate is dry with lean, elegant green-apple fruit. Alcohol is balanced and acidity is crisp giving a long crisp, green apple finish."

89 Points - Decanter (2020 Vintage)

“Subtle perfume of red apple and cherry blossom with hints of toasty cream. Salinity and bright acidity shine on the palate with stewed strawberry and sour plum.”
