Our Roebuck Rare Expressions No.19 bears the hallmark of our signature style – structure, depth of flavour and layers of complexity.

A rich, yet beautifully balanced wine displaying delightful notes of ripe peach, baked apples and honeysuckle layered with hints of toasted almonds.

100% Pinot Noir. Whole bunch pressed. Partial fermentation in old Burgundian barrels followed by a generous lees-ageing in bottle for a minimum of seven years imparts a wonderful richness and complexity on this very special wine. Minimum 84 months lees ageing.

The winter preceding the 2015 growing season was a cold one which vines tend to enjoy. Spring arrived later than usual with budburst taking place in early April, thankfully avoiding the frosts. Cooler temperatures in August slowed the growing season down, resulting in a slightly later than normal veraison. By harvest time, the fruit was ripe with perfect acids, and we could be incredibly exact on picking dates.

Our Rare Expressions No.19 was grown and harvested at our Roman Villa vineyard in West Sussex.
