Roebuck Estate, Blanc de Noirs 2018

Delicious red fruit aromas, with touches of plum, red apple skin and a toasty nuttiness from a combination of barrel ageing and prolonged bottle ageing on the lees.

Country: UK  Region: Sussex

ABV: 12%   Bottle Size: 75cl 

Additional Information: Only made in exceptional years, our 2018 Blanc de Noirs is complex and refined with delicate bubbles, a silky texture, and a long, exquisite finish. Roebuck's beautiful 48-month aged sparkling from the estate's Roman Villa vineyard in the Sussex South Downs, this outstanding English sparkling wine is made from the black-skinned Pinot Noir, making it a Blanc de Noirs style.

The 2018 vintage was a perfect growing season in every way. Favourable conditions at flowering and fruit set followed by an incredible summer filled with long, sunny, dry days encouraged a bountiful crop of high-quality fruit with exceptional balance and flavour. Picking started in early September with large yields of wonderfully ripe bunches sent to press. Undoubtedly, one of the finest vintages in England to date.
