Tasting Notes
The predecessor to Rathfinny’s Blanc de Blancs 2017 was described by wine expert Dr Jamie Goode as “really impressive” and “one of England’s finest”. So, this highly anticipated latest release – from the truly exceptional 2017 vintage – looks set to become one of this country’s true icons.
Rathfinny Wine Estate is an audacious and exciting player on the English wine scene. And demand will be huge for this wine, because only a limited run of 9,333 bottles were produced. Crafted using pure Chardonnay, this is sure to become one of their flagship bottlings having been aged on the lees for an impressive 36 months. The resulting wine has a pillowy texture, creamy finish and notes of ripe papaya, freshly baked brioche, salted butter, lemon meringue pie, almond croissant, spiced apple crumble, crunchy white peach, zingy grapefruit, honey, marshmallow and orchard blossom. This is a wine of poise and confidence, to be served alongside oysters, smoked salmon, crab cakes, tuna tartare, buttered English asparagus, goats’ cheese canapés and sumptuous celebrations.
