Superb, single-vineyard Pinot Noir fizz from the South Downs. It's highly rated by the critics, too: "a delightful nose of strawberry, orange blossom, white peach and a touch of rosehip, (Vinous), "another mightily impressive bottle" (Telegraph).

This is a superb, much-praised English fizz from Roebuck's well-placed Roman Villa vineyard, in the South Downs of west Sussex. All the grapes are hand picked and whole-bunch pressed to lend an extra edge of freshness and fermented in a mix of stainless steel vats and French oak barrels. This accounts for the wonderful layers of flavour in this Blanc de Noirs. It's from Roebuck Estates, which was born out of a passion to put down roots in the English countryside and to champion home-grown produce. To achieve this, they have built a portfolio of first-class vineyards and have a great team in place to manage them, along with the winemaking. Aged three years on its lees, this is a rich, toasty style with lovely complexity, balance and length.
