English Sparkling Wines
Gusbourne Blanc de Noirs 2020
Dried candied fruits & violets on the nose; raspberry, red cherry, red apple palate
Displaying great finesse in the glass, this Blanc de Noirs is expressive on the nose with fine-tuned notes of dried candied fruits and violet flower. It is characteristically deep and complex, rich and powerful- a wine that holds your attention with serious appeal. There is a real intensity and weight on the palate, but the balance is such that it remains delicate and neat on the refreshing and long, persistent finish. This wine is made from some of Gusbourne’s finest parcels of Pinot Noir. The wine is aged for a minimum of twenty seven months on lees and six months on cork before release. If you want to experience the stratospheric heights that English Sparkling Wine can reach, this is for you.
Gusbourne has 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. The distinct terroir and exceptionally mild microclimates of the surroundings add their own depth and complexity to the wines, and Gusbourne aims to allow the combination of site, soil and hard work in the vines to reflect in every bottle.
