THE PRODUCER
Roebuck Estates Winery is a distinguished vineyard located in the heart of the
Sussex countryside, renowned for its exceptional sparkling wines. Established on
prime viticultural land, the winery leverages the region's unique microclimate
and chalky soils, which are ideal for cultivating premium grape varieties such
as Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier. The estate combines traditional
winemaking techniques with modern innovations to produce award-winning wines
characterized by their elegance, complexity, and balance. Roebuck Estates is
committed to sustainability and quality, ensuring that every bottle reflects the
meticulous care and craftsmanship invested in its production. Their wines are
celebrated for their refined flavours and are a testament to the burgeoning
reputation of English sparkling wines on the global stage.

They have six parcels of land which are blessed with a wealth of different soil
types and microclimates, and are separated into 70 individual blocks of vines,
each with its own clone and rootstock combination best suited to that soil.
Using a sophisticated software system called Sectormentor, their team of expert
viticulturalists keep a detailed record of how each block is faring so they can
be precise in their approach.

THE WINE
An expressive sparkling rosé from one of the finest vintages in England to date.
Delicious notes of red cherries, strawberries and cranberries are layered with a
biscuity richness and a hint of toasted almonds, leading to a long, wonderfully
elegant finish.

A perfect growing season in every way. Favourable conditions at flowering and
fruit set followed by an incredible summer filled with long, sunny, dry days
encouraged a bountiful crop of high-quality fruit with exceptional balance and
flavour. Picking started in early September with large yields of wonderfully
ripe bunches sent to press. Undoubtedly, one of the finest vintages in England
to date.

CRITICS SCORES
We choose our wines based on a range of criteria(seehow we choose our wines)of
which critic scores is justone. Rather than simply highlight the best score to
promote a wine, our average critic score is calculated from the scores provided
by several respected wine critics, who we follow for specific regions. They do
not represent all critic scores and, wherever possible, we try and give more
weight to more recent reviews. Where appropriate we consider market-based scores
like Global Wine Score or Wine Searcher Average scores.

As a rule, we look to offer wines that achieve a92/100average critic score or
better and frankly a lot of very good wines simply don’t make the cut. As a
high-end provider we want to reflect that positioning in the quality of wines we
offer. Such wines are only a tiny fraction of those generally on offer in the
market. We believe that an average score is a more conservative and
representative approach, but it is still subjective and only offered as a guide
to our customers, who will (and should) do their own research. We will add
individual critic scores to our website in the future.
