Rathfinny - Classic Cuvée Brut 2019 (750ml) La Rioja

Rathfinny - Classic Cuvée Brut 2019 (750ml) La RiojaRathfinny 2019 Classic Cuve is our house style English Sparkling Wine, made in the Traditional Method from Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay grapes grown and hand harvested on the Rathfinny Wine Estate. Bergamot peel on the nose. Crisp and brisk, sorrel and citrus. Lovely stoniness, like rolling marbles in your mouth. Firm and bracingly clean. Mouth watering finish. A great appetiser! I found myself hankering for cockles to go with it! 16. 5

Both fresh and baked peach appear on the nose

these rose bubbles boast flavors of raspberry

The domaine's emblematic wine is the 2017 Chorey-lès-Beaune Vieilles Vignes

Lifted rather than layered or complex

sweet oaky spice and strong undercurrents of pepper and tobacco
