Rathfinny Rosé Brut 2019 is the fifth vintage of this expressive Sussex Sparkling, with a red-fruit style that beautifully showcases the increased presence of Pinot Noir within the blend.

Tasting Note:

A pale pink Rosé in colour, the delicate fine bubbles yield a creamy palate of clementines and kumquats, that give way to raspberries and strawberries, with a cleansing quince quince finish.
