Rathfinny Rose Brut 2018, 750ml

Single-site, single-vintage, grower-producer, this is a blend of 81% Pinot Noir, 13% Chardonnay and 6% Pinot Meunier, aged for 24 months on its lees before release.
Fermentation: whole-bunched pressed, inoculated with commercial yeast, fermented in stainless steel tanks at 16°C. Blended with Pinot Noir aged in French oak for colour.

Disgorged in October 2021. Dosage: 5.3g/l. Malolactic completed.

Rathfinny Rosé Brut 2018 is the fourth vintage of our 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 with a sublime nose of Seville orange cream and flat peach, a vibrant palate of wild strawberry coulis and candied mandarin zest with a white pepper and satsuma sherbet finish.
