Gusbourne Guinevere 2021

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. The Guinevere is a golden straw in colour, with a generous nose of candied citrus, stone fruits and vanilla. The palate shows ripe fruit character and a smoky minerality. Barrel fermentation brings warm oak notes of toasted nuts and vanilla, leading to a long, elegant finish.
