Roebuck Classic Cuvee 2017, 75cl Sparkling Wine for Wine LoversBy Winebuyers

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. Fortunately, due to favourable conditions at our West Sussex sites, the vines were protected from the late spring frosts that badly affected Northern Europe vineyards and were able to bask in a long, relatively warm ripening period throughout the summer and autumn months. Picking commenced at the start of October and the fruit benefited from a longer than normal hang time, resulting in an excellent quality harvest of perfectly ripe grapes with high sugars and balanced acids. This is a classic sparkling wine with a wonderfully elegant style, incredible depth of flavour and finesse. Serve chilled, around 12-14°C, in a wide-rimmed sparkling wine glass to fully appreciate its complex aromas. This wine is suitable for both men and women.
