Alongside their exceptional English sparkling wines, Rathfinny also produce still wines under the Cradle Valley label. As with all their wines, fruit is sourced exclusively from the Rathfinny estate vineyard. The site occupies the main part of the Cradle Valley, on a south-facing slope close to the Cuckmere Valley, an idyllic chalk grassland known for its abundance of birdlife and wildflowers.
The vineyard’s free-draining chalk soils, combined with its southerly aspect, and semi-continental maritime climate, provides the ideal conditions for ripening grapes. The label reflects the character of the Rathfinny estate and is a nod to its rich biodiversity, achieved by their work with Natural England and the South Downs National Park to enhance wildlife habitats and reclaim areas of natural chalk grassland. Their Pinot Gris is fermented in stainless steel tanks with a small component in old French oak barrels. It is crisp and refreshing with notes of pear, white peach and apricot.
