Roebuck Classic Cuvée 2018 - England

Located down the road from the Fairview shop, Roebuck is a premium English Sparkling wine house. Crafted from a harmonious blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, this wine displays wonderful notes of baked apples and stone fruits layered with a toasty richness.

The 2018 growing season was perfect in every way. Favourable conditions at flowering and fruit set followed by an incredible summer filled with sunny, dry days encouraged a bountiful crop of high-quality fruit with exceptional balance and flavour. Warm, clear days and cool nights in September were crucial for maintaining acidity levels. Picking started in early September with large yields of wonderfully ripe bunches sent to press. Undoubtedly, this would be one of the finest vintages in England to date. Partial fermentation in old Burgundian oak barrels followed by extended bottle ageing on the lees for a minimum of three years imparts depth, richness and complexity on this wine.
