2017 Rathfinny Wine Estate Blanc de Blancs (75cl)

This refined sparkling wine meshes sublimely with the sweet delicacy of butter-braised lobster, with the velvet-texture of a goat’s cheese and fig tartlet or pairs perfectly with oysters.

2017 VINTAGE

2017 was an exceptional vintage but is in relatively short supply in the UK because of difficult growing conditions that affected most of northern Europe; a late spring frost badly affected many vineyards from Champagne to Rioja in northern Spain. Fortunately, the south facing aspect and proximity to the coast of Rathanny’s vineyard, protected us from this frost event. After an early budburst the grapes benefitted from a long ripening period and a phenomenal ‘Indian summer’, with unseasonably warm September weather producing fantastic ripe fruit, with great flavours and balanced acidity and sugar levels.
