Gusbourne Brut Reserve 2018

At Gusbourne they embrace tradition but readily challenge convention, even to make what might seem like minor alterations to the finished wine. Attention to detail is often the difference between great and exceptional. The original Gusbourne Estate in Appledore, Kent dates back to 1410. The de Goosebourne family crest was made up of three geese and every bottle of wine crafted at Gusbourne carries a contemporary goose crest in honour of our heritage. This ‘Goosemark’ is a symbol of trust, representing our pursuit of uncompromising quality.

With the Brut Reserve their goal is a wine that is both approachable and balanced. With each vintage they aim to create a classic blend of the three varieties. This gives a ‘backbone’ of Chardonnay acting as the structural component, Pinot Noir brings body and depth and finally Pinot Meunier which adds floral and additional fruity notes to the wine.

Tasting Notes

Bright gold in colour, this blend highlights red fruit aromas of cherry and strawberry, which then develop into attractive fresh pastry notes with a touch of cinnamon and spice. With a bright streak of citrus fruit, the palate is clean and fresh whilst giving tones of soft stone fruit and a long, refreshing finish.

Food Pairing

It is the flexible partner for contemporary and classic English food pairings; from seared scallops to smoked eels to fish and chips.

Grape Variety: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier.
