Roebuck Estate Classic Cuvée

Roebuck Estate

This is an elegant sparkling wine, with enticing aromas of baked apples and citrus fruits, complemented by a subtle toasty character. Fine, delicate bubbles and a silky texture on the palate lead to a long, perfectly balanced finish.

Great as an aperitif wine, but also pairs well with Crab linguine, fresh oysters and goat’s cheese tart or a range of shellfish dishes.

The 2018 growing season was exceptional, with ideal conditions during flowering and fruit set, followed by a sunny, dry summer that yielded a bountiful crop of high-quality fruit with excellent balance and flavour. Warm, clear days and cool nights in September were key to preserving the grapes' natural acidity. Harvest began in early September, with large yields of ripe bunches contributing to what is widely regarded as one of England’s finest vintages to date. For this flagship wine, only the highest-quality fruit is hand-selected. Partial fermentation in old Burgundian oak barrels enhances depth and complexity, while an extended bottle ageing of 36 months imparts richness and finesse.

“Lots of citrus and a floral quality. This would be lovely with a nice bit of sea bream roasted with lemons and olive oil.” Henry Jeffreys, BBC Good Food Decanter Silver 2022
