“The Art of Time”: Roebuck English Vintage Sparkling Tasting at City Centre

An evening with one of England’s most acclaimed sparkling wine estates, showcasing vintage-only fizz of elegance and depth.

We’re delighted to present a guided tasting with Roebuck Estates, the Sussex producer turning heads for its vintage-only English sparkling wines made in the traditional method. Known for precision, patience, and finesse, Roebuck has quickly risen to the top tier of English fizz, earning high praise from critics including Jancis Robinson, who once described them as “the English Bollinger”!

At this tasting, you’ll explore five of their wines — from elegant vintage classics to rare long-aged cuvées from the Rare Expressions collection. Expect layers of fruit, richness from extended lees-ageing, and the unmistakable character of English terroir.
