Buy or order Rathfinny wine

Rathfinny Wine Estate, founded in 2010 by Mark and Sarah Driver, has quickly become one of the leading producers of English sparkling wines. Situated in the picturesque South Downs of Sussex, the Rathfinny estate stretches across breathtaking countryside that has been cultivated since the Middle Ages. Their ambition is clear and forward-looking: in twenty years, a visit to a bar or restaurant in cities like New York or Beijing will prompt a question: whether they would like a glass of champagne or a delicious glass of Sussex, with a recommendation for Rathfinny. This vision exemplifies the passion and dedication with which Rathfinny is committed to producing some of England's finest quality wines.

Rathfinny's philosophy extends beyond simply producing superb Sussex Sparkling wines. Rathfinny strives to add something special to the unique spirit of its location in this beautiful part of the South Downs. This site, on the same limestone belt that forms the Paris Basin, stretching from northern France to southern England, was carefully chosen. According to the Romans, the best location for a vineyard was three miles from the sea, and Rathfinny sits precisely in this ideal zone. The breathtaking, south-facing terrain in the Sussex South Downs is one of England's exceptional natural landscapes, perfect for producing world-class sparkling wines.

Rathfinny is the first sparkling wine producer in the world to achieve B Corp status, confirming its commitment to ethical and sustainable business practices. Rathfinny joins a growing list of over 1,600 British companies with B Corp status, considered the gold standard for ethical and sustainable business practices. This designation is awarded only to companies that maintain high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. This demonstrates Rathfinny's commitment not only to producing excellent wines but also to making a positive contribution to their communities and the environment.

Rathfinny's approach to winemaking is deeply rooted in respect for the land and the environment. The estate's vineyards and trellises are carefully integrated into the historic landscape, growing from the chalky soil into the future. The land, the existing buildings on the estate, the local workforce, and the communities surrounding Rathfinny are just as important as the wine produced. This holistic approach emphasizes Rathfinny's commitment not only to producing exceptional wines but also to making a positive contribution to the Sussex landscape and community. Rathfinny is more than a winery; it is a symbol of sustainable development, community spirit, and the highest quality in sparkling wine production.
