Roebuck Estates Classic Cuvee 2018 Gift Set with 2 Branded Tulip Flutes
Quintessentially English, only the very best fruit grown at Roebuck's Sussex vineyards is carefully selected for the Classic Cuvée. Crafted from a harmonious blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, this wine displays wonderful notes of baked apples and stone fruits layered with a biscuity richness. The 2017 growing season started well in the spring with an early budburst, followed by dry, sunny weather in May and June, and a very early flowering – one of the earliest on record. The vines basked in a long, relatively warm ripening period throughout the summer and autumn months.
Wine Press Ratings / Awards
91 Points / Silver Medal - DWWA (2017)
"Ripe fruit and oak concentration on the nose, palate shows good weight with freshness and a long finish."
Blend
44% Pinot Noir 42% Chardonnay 14% Pinot Meunier
Tasting Notes
Rich, yet pale lemon in colour. Notes of baked pears and citrus fruits are layered with a toasty richness and hint of sweet spice. Delicate bubbles linger on the palate leading to a long, beautifully balanced finish. This wine is drinking well now but will undoubtedly, continue to improve with additional bottle age.
