Producer

Roebuck Estate

RoebuckÂ’s Estate vineyards are located close to the market town of Petworth in West Sussex. Roebuck adopts the approach of using only the finest quality grapes, which they source from a variety of premium Sussex vineyards. The majority of the vineyards are located on chalk, clay, and sandy soils. Once the grapes are perfectly ripe, they are carefully handpicked and transported to the winery. The bunches are then whole bunch pressed and fermented in a mixture of stainless steel and Burgundian oak barrels.

Tasting Notes

A rich, yet beautifully balanced wine, deep golden in colour. Delightful notes of ripe peach, baked apples and honeysuckle are layered with hints of toasted almonds, characteristic of a generous bottle-ageing. Delicate bubbles, and a silky texture lead to a long-lingering finish.

Food Matches

Great as an aperitif or with seafood

Vinification

Carefully selected bunches of Pinot Noir were harvested by hand and gently whole bunch pressed. Produced according to the traditional method, a small proportion of this wine was partially fermented in aged Burgundian oak barrels followed by a generous lees-ageing in bottle for 88 months.
