In stock
Rathfinny Estate Blanc de Noirs 2020 Sparkling Wine is created using 85% Pinot Noir and 15% Pinot Meunier grapes, hand-harvested from the Rathfinny Wine Estate in East Sussex. This is the fourth vintage of their premium Pinot Noir/Pinot Meunier blend and has aged on the lees for 36 months.
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.

Budburst was timely, though it was very wet before flowering which, as a consequence, was slightly delayed. July and the early part of August were cooler than normal. The second half of August brightened up with some particularly warm days, with this dry weather continuing throughout September until the end of the season. Picking took place in the latter part of October.
The Blanc de Noirs presents as rose-gold in colour, and showcases a bouquet of red fruits. On the palate, flavours of plum and pear, with a long ripe cherry finish.
Pairs perfectly with delicate seafood dishes such as spiced crab cakes or with something heavier and richer such as slow-cooked venison.
