Frequently asked about Roebuck Blanc de Blancs
Is Roebuck Blanc de Blancs oaked?
Partly. Roebuck ferments a portion in old Burgundian oak barrels, which adds texture rather than obvious oak flavour, then ages the wine more than five years on its lees.
Where does the fruit come from?
Hand-harvested Chardonnay grown in West Sussex on Roebuck's own vineyards around Petworth.
What does Roebuck Blanc de Blancs taste like?
Delicate aromas of ripe citrus and stone fruits layered with white flowers and toasted hazelnut, elegant and complex with the purity of fruit five years on lees brings.
