Roebuck Estates Classic Cuve 2018

Roebuck EstatesClassic Cuve is a rich and refined English sparkling wine. Pale yellow colour. Delightful nose of bitter orange marmalade, crisp orchard fruits and a hint of toasted hazelnuts. A fine and persistent mousse on the palate, vibrant acidity and delectably dry. The wine’s complexity stands out as ripe orange interweaves with flavours of apple strudel, toasty richness and a hint of truffle. Leads into a full nutty finish.

47% Chardonnay, 38% Pinot Noir and 15% Pinot Meunier. The fruit comes from a number of sites across Southern England. The fruit grows in avariety of soil profiles but mainly chalk, clay and sand.

Harvesting of the grapes by hand, then whole-bunch pressing. Partial fermentation in a mix of the finest French oak casks and stainless steel. Long lees ageing for a minimum of 36 months, which gives the wine additional richness, depth and complexity.

Ageing potential: Drink now or until 2024
