Delicate rose-pink in colour with fragrant aromas of wild strawberries, white peach and rose petals. A vibrant, expressive palate displaying notes of ripe red fruits, honeysuckle and white blossom. Beautifully balanced with a bright seam of acidity, a fine persistent mousse and a long, yet elegant length. A perfect apéritif to be enjoyed all year round.
Crafted from the finest handpicked Pinot Noir grapes grown at our Roman Villa vineyard. The fruit destined for our sparkling rosé is whole-bunch pressed and partially fermented in the finest French oak casks followed by a generous lees-ageing of 36 months in bottle. A splash of Pinot Précoce is added prior to release imparting ripe red fruit characteristics and an attractive pale pink hue on this delicious wine.
The 2016 growing season took a little time to really get going but by mid-July things had picked up and the sunshine continued almost unabated until harvest. The small but perfectly formed bunches were allowed to bask in a long Indian summer and achieve full ripeness with excellent phenolics – the building blocks for some great wines. By harvest time, the fruit was ripe with perfect acids and we could be incredibly exact on picking dates.
“Simply superb, poised and elegant with a toasty note, a vibrant tang like unripe nectarine and a suggestion of ripe raspberries … A very accomplished wine indeed and it would be beautiful with a plate of smoked salmon or smoked salmon paté and wholemeal toast.” Victoria Moore, telegraph.co.uk
“My first taste from Roebuck Estates, an impressive newcomer on the English wine scene. Lightly fragrant rosé, ripe red fruit sweetness and complex layers of flavours.” Rose Murray Brown, The Scotsman
