Description
Pale gold in colour with a fine, persistent mousse. The nose brims with bright citrus notes of ripe lemon and orange peel, along with green apple and Williams pear. On the palate, the wine is focused and elegant, driven by more citrus and orchard fruits, with stone fruits notes of white peach. The fruit sits alongside a richer, pâtisserie character of toasted nuts, brioche and lemon meringue pie. The mouthfeel is linear and fresh, leading to a zesty mineral note on the long finish.

Vineyard
Gusbourne Estate vineyards are planted on clay and sandy soils in Kent where the temperatures are amongst the highest in England and rainfall the lowest, providing ripeness, length and power. We also have vineyards planted on the chalky-flint soils of the South Downs in West Sussex which bring freshness, energy and precision to our wines.
