Kpo says: Is it true that England could be the new Champagne??!! |
A rich, yet refined sparkling wine produced in a vintage that will be looked back on fondly. The fruit destined for our Roebuck Estates Classic Cuvée 2014 is harvested by hand and whole-bunch pressed. Partial fermentation in the finest French oak casks, followed by long lees ageing for a minimum of 36 months, gives this wine additional richness, depth and complexity.
2014 is a vintage that will be looked back on fondly. Budburst was earlier than normal and the weather stayed warm and dry through to the end of June allowing a very even flowering. Some welcome rain arrived in August and it became increasingly clear that we had a large harvest on our hands. Picking started towards the end of September and ran into October with large yields of quality fruit sent to press.
47% Chardonnay 38% Pinot Noir 15% Pinot Meunier 36 months lees aging, 7g/L Dosage, pH 3.04

Tasting Notes
An exceptional English sparkling wine with elegance and finesse. Rich, yet pale lemon in colour. Notes of citrus fruit and baked apples are layered with a toasty richness and hint of truffle. Delicate bubbles linger on the palate leading to a beautifully balanced finish. This wine is drinking well now but will undoubtedly, continue to improve with additional bottle age.
