Rathfinny Blanc de Noirs 2018 represents the estate`s second vintage of their signature blend, featuring hand-harvested Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes. This superb English fizz undergoes a maturation period of 36 months in the bottle. Founded in 2010 by Mark and Sarah Driver, Rathfinny is a family-owned wine grower and producer nestled on a south-facing slope in the South Downs. The unique combination of climate, chalky soil, and vineyard orientation makes it an ideal location for cultivating grapes destined for the production of world-class sparkling wine. This offering is available in an impressive magnum format.

Full bottle 1,664 g. 100% estate-grown grapes, 85% Pinot Noir, 15% Pinot Meunier. Dosage 3.5 g/l. Disgorged 24 January 2022. The Rathfinny vineyard is in Cradle Valley on the South Downs of Sussex. South facing, three miles from the sea, light thin clay loam over chalk. The winery runs on solar energy and deploys waste-water recycling. They`ve planted indigenous hedging and trees for windbreaks and biodiversity, and are working with Natural England, the National Trust and South Downs National Park to improve local habitat, regenerated the natural chalk grass downland and create wildlife corridors.
Liquorice nose. It`s hard to believe the dosage is so low, because the ripeness and roundness of fruit on this wine is exceptional. Pin-point-fine bubbles snap the lemon and blueberry fruit into taut lines. There`s a cool stoniness, like mossy concrete; an almost imperceptible peppery nuttiness; and then the wine momentarily widens into sweet pear before narrowing into a piercing finish. (TC)
