Rathfinny Blanc de Blancs Brut 2019, 750ml

Single-site, single-vintage, grower-producer, this is 100% Chardonnay, aged for 36 months on its lees before release.
Fermentation: whole-bunched pressed, inoculated with commercial yeast, fermented in stainless steel tanks at 16°C.
Disgorged in December 2023. Dosage: 3g/l. Malolactic completed.

The Blanc de Blancs has a saline kick, influenced by the coastal vineyard location, situated just seven miles from the Seven Sisters Cliffs.

Tasting Note:

Luminescent gold in colour, with a delicate nose of ripe, almost tropical fruit, yielding a complex palate of apricot and creamy citrus fruits with a delicious long, elegant yuzu finish.
