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.

A sophisticated blend of 50% Chardonnay, 38% Pinot Noir, and 12% Pinot Meunier, this wine embodies elegance and precision. The Chardonnay-led profile delivers a vibrant fruit focus, while a touch of malolactic fermentation adds a layer of richness and texture, perfectly balanced by the wine’s hallmark freshness.
On the palate, expect a textured and full-bodied experience, supported by bright acidity (8.5g/l) and subtle sweetness (5.4g/l residual sugar). The wine is aged for a minimum of 22 months on lees, enhancing complexity, with an additional 6 months on cork post-disgorgement to ensure perfect integration.
A versatile choice for any occasion. Enjoy as an aperitif with crisps and canapés, or elevate everyday dining by pairing with fried chicken. For a more refined match, complement its freshness and texture with shellfish such as oysters, crab, or prawns.
Black Chalk Paragon Sparkling White 2020 (6 Bottles) Andover, Hampshire, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
100% Chardonnay.
A sparkling wine of unparalleled elegance, Paragon Blanc de Blancs showcases the purest expression of Chardonnay from the Upper Levels vineyard. Made exclusively from premium clones (95, 121, 76, and 131), this limited release of just 3,535 bottles is a testament to meticulous craftsmanship.
On the nose, bright citrus aromas intertwine with delicate floral notes and a whisper of toasted almond, hinting at its partial oak cask aging (46%) alongside stainless steel (54%). The absence of malolactic fermentation preserves the vibrant acidity (8.8g/L), complemented by a touch of residual sugar (5.9g/L) that enhances the wine’s texture without compromising its finesse.
On the palate, Paragon is a symphony of precision and complexity. The wine delivers crisp green apple, lemon zest, and a chalky minerality, rounded by a subtle creaminess from oak influence. The finish is long and refreshing, with a delicate interplay of fruit, acidity, and structure that invites another sip.
As Jacob Leadley, winemaker and owner, describes: “Paragon is all about the subtle use of oak, chosen to provide a balance to the elegance and fruit profile of the Chardonnay.”
Perfect for those seeking a sparkling wine that marries sophistication with depth. Ideal for celebrations or pairing with fine seafood and soft cheeses.
