The Rathfinny estate is the perfect site for growing sparkling wine grapes with thin, clay loam soils over chalk creating great sources of water for the vines and the semi-continental climate of the region being very similar to that of Champagne, France.

2018 is often referred to as the vintage of the decade, and was one of the warmest summers on record. A mini-heatwave developed from April onwards, bringing an early flowering and the dry weather promoted good fruit set. New temperature records were set in July and August, and despite heavy rains in early September, the weather during harvest in October was very favourable and very clean fruit was picked with an ideal balance of sugars and acidity for the Sussex sparkling wines.
The 2018 Classic Cuvée from Rathfinny is an inviting golden hue in the glass. The nose reveals red apple, brioche and white plums with subtle hints of ginger and cinnamon. The palate is rich and creamy, displaying notes of white apricot and crème pâtissière with nuances of preserved lemon on the zesty finish.
