Roebuck Estates Classic Cuvee 750ml

Growing Season The 2018 growing season was perfect in every way. Favourable 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. Winemaking Crafted from a harmonious blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, only the very best fruit is carefully selected and harvested by hand for our flagship wine. Partial fermentation in old Burgundian oak barrels followed by extended bottle ageing for a minimum of three years imparts depth, richness and complexity on this wine.
