Roebuck Estates Blanc de Noirs 2015

Roebuck’s Estate vineyards are located close to the market town of Petworth in West Sussex. Roebuck adopts the approach of using only the finest quality grapes, which they source from a variety of premium Sussex vineyards. The majority of the vineyards are located on chalk, clay, and sandy soils. Once the grapes are perfectly ripe, they are carefully handpicked and transported to the winery. The bunches are then whole bunch pressed and fermented in a mixture of stainless steel and Burgundian oak barrels.

Produced from Pinot Noir grapes harvested at Roebuck’s Roman Villa vineyard, the Blanc de Noirs is only released in exceptional years. Partially fermented in the finest Burgundian oak barrels and bottle-aged for a minimum of 48 months. The nose is complex and inviting, with layers of baked apple, ripe stone fruits, citrus zest, and buttery brioche, all enhanced by a subtle hint of spice. The palate reveals delicate notes of raspberry, strawberry, and white peach, complemented by toasted almond, creating a wine that is both rich and perfectly balanced. With its fine, persistent bubbles and refreshing acidity, the finish is long, aromatic, and beautifully refined.
