Roebuck Estates Rosé de Noirs 2019

A delicately hued English sparkling rosé made from Pinot Noir and a dash of Pinot Précoce that lends it the subtle shade of pink. The nose is immediately inviting with wild strawberry, redcurrant, and raspberry, interwoven with rose petals and a touch of brioche. The palate is refined and energetic, showing ripe red berries balanced by a fine mousse and crisp acidity. Subtle savoury notes of pastry and almond add depth, while the finish lingers with freshness and a whisper of mineral salinity. Elegant yet vibrant, it’s a wine that combines immediate charm with ageing potential.

Roebuck Estates, based in Sussex, is part of the new wave of English producers proving the region’s pedigree for world-class sparkling wines. Working across carefully chosen vineyard sites with chalk and greensand soils, the estate focuses on traditional-method wines crafted from classic Champagne varieties. The Rosé de Noirs 2019 highlights Pinot Noir’s expressive character in England’s cool climate, benefiting from long maturation on the lees to gain complexity while retaining the bright, taut fruit profile that defines English sparkling wine.
