Sparkling English, Rathfinney Wine Estate Classic, Cuvee Brut 75cl

The Posh Off Licence's pick of the English bubbles is

Rathfinny Wine Estate, founded in 2010 by Mark and Sarah Driver, who planted the first vineyards in April 2012. This family-owned estate now comprises over 93 hectares of vines in the South Downs, just three miles from the Channel.

The Classic Cuvée blends Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier.

The palate has real focus with zesty acidity and creamy texture.

Finally, it might surprise you to learn that the baby cuvée at this esteemed estate, 2019 Rathfinny Classic Cuvée, subscribes to the same tenets as the other wines. It is another texture mapped wine that screams luxury while revelling in its fabulously lascivious imperfections.
