Roebuck Estates Rosé de Noirs

Since their first release in 2019, Roebuck’s vintage sparkling wines have won numerous trophies and awards in prestigious wine competitions including a Best in Show and a Platinum medal at the Decanter World Wine Awards. They have six vineyards across Sussex and Kent growing the classic trio of Champagne grape varieties – Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Each vineyard has been planted with carefully selected varieties and clones best suited to that land. The wines undergo extended lees ageing to build complexity, and are made in a beautifully refined style.

Their Rosé de Noirs is a blend of 79% Pinot Noir  19% Pinot Meunier 2% Pinot Précoce from Roebuck, Roman Villa and Little Brockhurst vineyards,  West Sussex.  Carefully selected bunches of Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes were gently whole bunch pressed and partially fermented in old Burgundian barrels followed by a generous period of lees ageing in bottle for a minimum of 36 months.  A splash of Pinot Précoce was added as a still red wine at disgorgement imparting a pretty rose-pink tone and attractive red berry notes on this wine. Dosage is to 7 g/l

Without doubt one of the UK’s best pink sparklers, made in a delicate, elegant style. Delicate rose-pink in colour with fragrant aromas of ripe strawberries, raspberries and white peach. An expressive palate displaying deliciously ripe notes of red berry fruits, honeysuckle and a hint of almond. Beautifully balanced with a bright seam of acidity, a fine persistent mousse and a long, yet elegant finish.
