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 baked apples, honey and a biscuity richness, layered with hints of toasted walnuts and candied citrus peel. Delicate bubbles, and a velvety texture leading to a long-lingering finish.

Vinification

Carefully selected bunches of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes 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 period of lees-ageing in bottle for 96 months.
