UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
A rose gold hue and nose of sweet Russet apples. A mouth-filling palate of summer fruits with a long, zesty, saline, plum compôte finish.
This vintage pairs exquisitely with lamb or charcuterie, or strawberries and cream. With winter in mind, why not try baked ham with cranberry sauce or roast duck with all the trimmings.
About Rathfinny Wine Estate
Founded in 2010 by husband and wife Mark and Sarah Driver, Rathfinny Wine Estate was created with the goal of producing some of the world’s finest English sparkling wines. Situated in the South Downs of Sussex, the estate benefits from an ideal location on a south-facing slope of chalk, a region recognised for its potential to produce world-class sparkling wines. This landscape, shaped by centuries of farming, is part of the same chalk band that stretches from Northern France to Southern England, making it an exceptional site for viticulture.
Rathfinny’s commitment to sustainability is exemplified by its B Corp status, making it the first sparkling wine grower-producer in the world to achieve this accolade. The estate operates with a strong focus on ethical and sustainable business practises, verified for their social and environmental impact.
The estate’s first 50 acres of vines were planted in 2012, with plans to expand to 350 acres. The vineyard grows the classic Champagne varieties—Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier—alongside a small amount of Pinot Gris.
Rathfinny adopts traditional winemaking methods, refined under the guidance of an experienced team. The estate also supports the local community by investing in workforce development and sponsoring the Rathfinny Research Winery at Plumpton College. The winery’s environmentally conscious design includes locally sourced materials, sustainable technologies, and initiatives to enhance biodiversity, working alongside organisations like Natural England and the National Trust to improve wildlife habitats and restore natural chalk grasslands.

Our ‘Kentish’ Blanc de Noirs is a wine of yin and yang.

More cranberry than strawberry, this is classic Balfour; dry, precise and powerful. Richer than some of its predecessors, the 2019 reflects one of the best years in English viticultural history. A complex wine that is more than just primary fruit, there are notes of burnt orange combined with a wonderful herbaceous note on the finish.
Balfour Brut Rosé is one of England’s most recognisable wines, our flagship, and for six years the only wine made by Balfour. It is a single-vineyard wine from our Oast House Meadow vineyard, planted in 2002 with clones and rootstocks specifically chosen to make a world-class sparkling rosé.
