Roebuck Estates, Classic Cuvée, Sussex, England, 2016
Chardonnay 50% / Pinot Noir 37% / Pinot `Meunier 13% - 12% abv.
Mike Smith and John Ball’s Classic Cuvee is a great example of just how far English winemaking has come in recent years. The Bollinger of English sparkling wines, this is fresh, floral and persistent. Only the very best fruit is carefully selected and harvested by hand. Partial fermentation in old Burgundian oak barrels followed by extended bottle ageing for a minimum of three years imparts depth, richness and complexity to this wine.
A rich, yet refined English sparkling wine with opulence, texture and finesse. Attractive pale lemon in colour. Delightful notes of citrus fruit and baked apples are layered with a biscuity richness and delicious hint of hazelnut leading to a long, beautifully balanced finish.

Roebuck Estates adopt a single-minded approach, using only the finest quality estategrown grapes, from exceptional vineyard sites to create award-winning wines from classic Champagne varieties. Located close to the historic market town of Petworth in West Sussex, Roebuck Estates was established in 2013 by two Brits, Mike Smith and John Ball, whose love of wine, longstanding friendship, and belief in the potential of the English wine industry sparked several years spent searching for the perfect vineyard plots.
Grapes sourced from a variety of premium Sussex vineyard sites comprising of chalk, clay and sandy soils. Perfectly ripe bunches were carefully handpicked into small buckets and then gently transferred into picking crates before being transported to the winery.
