The Classic Cuvée blends Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier. It is fermented solely in stainless steel and, like all Rathfinny’s base wines, goes through malolactic fermentation. It is then aged on its lees, in bottle, for 36 months before disgorgement.
The black grape character provides excellent depth of flavour, while 4.5 grammes per litre dosage ensures great balance and elegance. The Rosé is a blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Meunier. While the base wine is fermented in stainless steel, it is blended with more Pinot Noir and aged in barrel to enhance the colour.
After the second fermentation, the wine is aged on its lees for 24 months to preserve freshness and vivacity. The quality of the fruit is attested to by the balance and suppleness the final wine displays with a dosage of only five grammes per litre.
2019 was not without its challenges, following the exceptional 2018 vintage. The 2019 growing season began early, but avoided any significant outbreaks of late spring frost. Record-breaking temperatures in late July, followed by a very warm August aided grape development. However, wet weather at the end of September and throughout October resulted in heightened disease pressure, which required careful canopy management in the vineyard. Despite these challenging conditions before and during harvest, yields were not adversely affected and the grapes showed excellent balance.
