Rathfinny Wine Estate was established in 2010 in Sussex and enjoys the ideal climate, chalk soil and aspect for producing world-class sparkling wine. 2016 is just the second release of the Blanc de Blancs and it is a delicious iteration with sumptuous notes of lemon cured, grapefruit pith and buttered croissant. Seamlessly balanced, it would pair perfectly with a cheese soufflé.

The 2016 Blanc de Blancs is aged for 36 months and undergoes complete malo. Dosage is 4g/L. The intense, refreshingly steely bouquet offers scents of dewy Granny Smith apples and a touch of lime and citrus lemon; impressive definition here, and very focused. The palate does not quite deliver the panache of the aromatics, but it is certainly well defined, featuring citrus lemon, light red cherry notes and a kiss of salinity toward a finish that keeps the Blanc de Blancs on its toes. A nimble English sparkler. Drink now and over the next 7–8 years.Neal Martin1st July 2020
