Gusbourne Brut Reserve 2020
England, Kent
Description
Light golden in colour, with a fine delicate mousse. The wine shows bright citrus and orchard fruit notes on the nose, with lemon, orange peel and green apple. The palate is dominated by orchard fruits with ripe apple and pear, hints of white peach and apricot highlighting subtle notes of toasted brioche and delicate sweet spice. The wine is elegant and round, with a lively freshness and lingering mineral note on the 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.
