Rathfinny Blanc de Noirs 2020 is a Sussex sparkling wine made from predominantly Pinot Noir grapes, sourced from the estate`s south-facing vineyard. This wine has undergone primary fermentation in stainless steel, followed by secondary fermentation in bottle, adhering to the traditional method. It displays a balance of red fruit notes typical of the variety, with a structured profile. The wine has been aged for at least 36 months on its lees, allowing for complexity.

86% Pinot Noir, 14% Pinot Meunier. Disgorged 8 May 2024, after at least 36 months on lees. Sussex appears at least five times on the label, reminding you of Rathfinny`s mission to establish it as a PDO.
Mid-gold colour, toasted sesame, baked apple, white chocolate, sea salt and lemon sherbet. The quality of flavours is excellent, and it has the savoury weight of Pinot Noir rather than the flesh of Chardonnay. Fluffy, frothy bubbles. Long, classic length with dried apple, spice, elderflower and lots of yeasty complexity. I appreciate how the Brut dosage and the high acid soften each other out. Beats many a champagne at its own game. (RH)
