Gusbourne Brut Reserve 750ml

Fruit driven, with zesty mandarin, peach and apple notes. Hints of ginger and mineral notes with a long and elegant finish.

Deep gold, dark and rich, with a delicate mousse and persistent perfume of honeyed green apples with hints of lemon, white peach and toasted nuts. The palate is fruit driven, with red apples, poached pears and bright red berry fruit. It displays subtle flavours of peach and developed toasty notes of freshly baked bread, roasted nuts and apple pie before a long, elegant and rounded finish.

The original Gusbourne Estate in Appledore, Kent in England dates back to 1410. The de Goosebourne family crest was made up of three geese and can be found in the local parish church in Appledore. Nowadays, each and every bottle of wine crafted at Gusbourne carries a contemporary goose crest in honour of their heritage. This ‘Goosemark’ is a symbol of trust, representing the Gusbourne pursuit of uncompromising quality. A combination of the best age-old traditions with modern technology and cutting-edge equipment allows Gusbourne to sit comfortably between old and new world winemaking, while at the same time bringing their own exacting quality standards to the process.
