- 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, and 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.
Winter rains enabled the vines to take full advantage of good soil moisture levels during spring growth. This was topped up during the season by regular rainfall, which helped to maintain optimum levels of nutrition in the vines. Dry and warm weather at the end of June allowed for successful flowering over a short period, resulting in even fruit-set. Good weather in August continued uniform fruit development across the vineyards. Slightly cooler weather in September and October allowed for a slow ripening period that
created the composition of varied and complex flavour profiles. Harvest commenced at the end of September and was complete by the middle of October

Winery | Our own Gusbourne Vineyards is on an ancient escarpment in Appledore, Kent, near Goodwood in West Sussex. Largely clay, with subsoils including sand and seashells in Kent and predominantly chalk soils with flint loam in the South Downs in West Sussex Over the years, Charlie and I have built a clear understanding of the flavour profiles of grapes from every corner of our vineyards and how these are affected by the climate variations in any particular growing season. With Brut Reserve, our goal is to make a wine that is both approachable and balanced. With each vintage, we 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. |
