Here is your full description for Rathfinny Classic Cuvée Brut, written in the same structure, tone and British English style as your example.
Rathfinny Classic Cuvée Brut is an elegant and finely crafted English sparkling wine produced on the sun‑kissed chalk slopes of the South Downs in Sussex. Made using the traditional method and the classic Champagne varieties, it reflects the purity, precision and cool‑climate finesse that define this exceptional estate. The region’s chalk soils, long growing season and coastal breezes allow the grapes to ripen slowly, developing vibrant acidity, delicate aromatics and a natural mineral backbone. Aged extensively on lees, the wine achieves remarkable texture, complexity and poise, offering a refined expression of modern English sparkling wine.
Meet the Producer
Rathfinny Wine Estate, founded by Mark and Sarah Driver, is one of England’s most ambitious and meticulously run sparkling wine producers. Established on former farmland in the South Downs, the estate is dedicated to sustainable viticulture, low‑intervention winemaking and the pursuit of world‑class quality. Their wines are celebrated for their precision, purity and sense of place, earning Rathfinny a leading reputation within the English sparkling wine movement.
Production
Hand‑harvested grapes are pressed gently in whole bunches to preserve freshness and delicacy. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel and a small proportion of oak to build subtle complexity. The wine undergoes secondary fermentation in bottle and is aged for an extended period on lees, enhancing depth, creaminess and fine mousse. A carefully judged dosage ensures balance, allowing the wine’s natural acidity and chalk‑driven minerality to shine.
Tasting Notes
Pale gold with a fine, persistent bead, the wine opens with aromas of citrus blossom, baked apple, pear and hints of toasted brioche. The palate is crisp, elegant and beautifully balanced, offering notes of lemon zest, orchard fruit and subtle pastry richness supported by a clean mineral line. The finish is long, refreshing and refined, with lingering citrus and gentle autolytic complexity.
Food Match
Perfect with oysters, smoked salmon, sushi, soft cheeses, light canapés or celebratory dishes that highlight its freshness and finesse.
Grape
Typically a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier.
