Rathfinny Estate Mini Cuvee 2021: Sparkling with Purpose

Herbert Muller — Really impressed with this

8/10

Bought a couple of bottles for a dinner party and everyone kept asking what it was. Lovely fresh bubbles, not too aggressive, and that hint of toast underneath is really nice. At under £24 it's genuinely good value for English sparkling. Will definitely be buying more.

Connor McBride — Bit pricey for what it is

5/10

It's fine — clean, crisp, does the job. But I kept thinking I'd rather have just spent a few quid more on a proper champagne or saved money with a cava. Nothing wrong with it, just didn't wow me enough at that price point.

Andre Dubois — Solid everyday fizz

7/10

The wine shop guy recommended this as a good English alternative to prosecco and he wasn't wrong. Crisp green apple flavour, nice fine bubbles. Not going to blow your mind but it's clean and refreshing and I'd happily have it again.
