After launching its Classic Cuvée, Rosé and Blanc de Noirs from the 2018 vintage, the renowned Sussex estate now debuts its 2018 Blanc de Blancs.

Just in time for English Wine Week, which runs from 18-26 June 2022, Rathfinny Wine Estate has launched its Blanc de Blancs from the warm 2018 vintage. Made from 100% estate-grown Chardonnay, matured on lees for 30 months and disgorged in February 2021, the wine has the house’s customary low dosage of just 3g/l.

The wine completes the Rathfinny quartet of Classic Cuvée, Rosé and Blanc de Noirs from the 2018 vintage – all of which have already been released. Sarah Driver, co-owner of Rathfinny, founded in 2010, notes that the “Chardonnay grapes benefit from our vineyard’s chalky soils and proximity to the sea.” It is for this reason that she comments: “The wine pairs so naturally with freshly sourced seafood from the British Isles”.
