Rathfinny Classic Cuvee Brut 2018, 750ml
Single-site, single vintage, grower-producer, this is a blend of 50% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay and 15% Pinot Meunier, aged for 30 months on its lees before release.
Fermentation: whole-bunched pressed, inoculated with commercial yeast, fermented in stainless steel tanks at 16°C.

Classic Cuvée is our ‘house-style’ English Sparkling Wine, made in the Traditional Method from Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay grapes grown and hand-harvested on the Rathfinny Wine Estate.
Tasting Note:
A buttermilk golden hue beckons in a nose of ginger-dusted white plums on cinnamon toast, a rich palate of white apricot and crème pâtissière with nuances of preserved Meyer lemon on the finish.
