Producer

Roebuck Estate

Roebuck’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

This is a wine that is both rich and beautifully balanced, with enticing aromas of ripe peach, baked apples, and honeysuckle, complemented by delicate notes of toasted almonds from the generous bottle ageing. Fine bubbles and a silky texture lead to a long, lingering finish.

Food Matches

Great as an aperitif or with seafood

Vinification

Hand-harvested, only the finest Pinot Noir clusters are selected and gently whole-bunch pressed. A small portion of the wine is then partially fermented in aged Burgundian oak barrels for 3 months, adding layers of complexity. The wine undergoes an extended lees aging in bottle for 84 months, allowing it to develop depth and character.
