Rathfinny 2018 Blanc de Noirs is the fourth vintage of our signature Sussex Sparkling, made from predominantly Pinot Noir grapes, grown and hand-harvested on the Estate.
“Our Blanc de Noirs is the wine Sarah and I set out to produce at Rathfinny. It’s our signature wine, a wonderful blend of predominantly Pinot Noir with a small quantity of Pinot Meunier.” Mark Driver, Co-owner of Rathfinny
TASTING NOTE
Translucent saffron in colour, delivering an expressive nose of mulberry and almond blossom, a mouth-filling perlage of baked blueberry and russet pear, giving way to a lively clementine finish.
FOOD PAIRING
We believe our Sussex Sparkling is best experienced when accompanied by the finest food, whether in the worlds best restaurants or at home with friends and family.
This delightfully fruity style matches beautifully with intensely umami-sweet flavours delivered by steamed barbecue pork buns, crispy duck with hoisin sauce or Japanese Nimono dishes.
VINTAGE
Often referred to as the vintage of the decade, 2018 was one of the warmest summers on record. A mini heatwave developed from April onwards, bringing on early flowering and the dry weather promoted good fruit set. New temperature records were set in July and August and despite heavy rain in early September, the weather during harvest in October was very favourable and we picked very clean fruit with an ideal balance of sugars and acidity for our Sussex Sparkling wines.
