    Product description

    Hand-picked from estate vineyards in Kent (69%) and Sussex (31%), harvested from early October to early November. South-facing sites, diverse soils, and careful clone selection contribute to balance, ripeness, and complexity. Whole-bunch pressed with the juice protected from oxygen before undergoing overnight cold settling. Fermented in stainless steel at 18°C, with 10.6% fermented and aged in oak (3.3% new). Matured on lees for a minimum of 35 months. Rich yet refined, with ripe raspberry, red apple and blueberry layered over candied fruit, soft spice and toasted hazelnut. A creamy mousse, smoky minerality and vibrant acidity lead to a long, elegant finish.

  • About the producer

    About the producer: Gusbourne estate

    Dating back to 1410, the estate was taken over by Andrew Weeber in 2004. He planted the first vines that same year with the aim to create English sparkling wines that would stand up alongside the very finest offerings from across the globe. They released their first wine in 2010 and quickly earned a reputation as an outstanding producer, with accolades from some of the industry’s most exacting critics. They now own 60 hectares at Gusbourne Estate in Kent and 30 hectares in West Sussex that are planted with the 3 classic varieties of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier.

    Using minimal intervention, they age their wine on the lees for at least 28 months in order to add depth. Once disgorged, extended cork ageing further enhances the complexity of their wines.
