Rathfinny Estate is one of England’s leading sparkling wine producers, established in 2010 by Mark and Sarah Driver on a 600-acre estate in Sussex. Located on the South Downs near Alfriston, the vineyards benefit from a cool maritime climate and chalk-rich soils, well suited to traditional-method sparkling wine. Rathfinny focuses on the classic Champagne varieties of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, with sustainability central to its approach. Vineyard biodiversity is encouraged through wildflower planting, cover crops and careful management of the surrounding landscape. Wines are made with precision and extended ageing, producing elegant, complex sparkling wines with the freshness, fine texture and mineral character associated with Sussex.
