Tasting Note
Lustrous yellow to the eye with an opulent nose of apricot stone and lemon blossom, a voluptuous palate of yellow plum and rosewater, with a prolonged nectarine finish.
Food Match
This vintage is a beautiful accompaniment to the fragrant flavours of Thai fish cakes or the richness of butter-fried scallops.
Vintage
In 2020 a dry spring, followed by beautiful late summer weather, produced a low-yielding harvest of perfect ripeness.

What is the Cradle Valley Brand?
As well as producing Sussex Sparkling wines we also make a limited amount of Sussex still wine under the Cradle Valley label. Rathfinny Estate is located in the South Downs National Park, an area of outstanding natural beauty in Southern England. It occupies the main part of Cradle Valley, on a south-facing slope close to the iconic Cuckmere Valley, just three miles from the sea and the famous Seven Sisters cliffs, about a half a mile south of Alfriston village.
