Roebuck Estates Rosé de Noirs 2018

This Rosé de Noirs is a traditional blend of Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, aged for 36 months before release. An expressive sparkling rosé, delicate rose-pink in colour displaying delightful notes and fragrant aromas of ripe strawberries, raspberries and white peach, layered with a hint of almond and biscuity richness. Crisp, fresh and beautifully balanced.

Roebuck Estates are one of the most exciting recent arrivals on the UK sparkling wine scene, winning numerous awards for their superb wines made from Kent and Sussex-grown grapes. 

The 2018 growing season was perfect in every way. Favorable 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.
