Gusbourne Pinot Noir 750ml

Soft, yet rich and clean, this wine has all the classic Pinot Noir aromas of ripe strawberry, Morello cherry and earthy spiciness

Elegantly balanced on the palate, the underlying characters here are purity alongside a richness and depth of fruit. Attractive wild raspberry and cranberry combine with real finesse. Tight and focused, there are smoky notes too with hints of herbal minerality. The wine finishes with crunchy, fresh black fruits and soft, supple tannins.

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.
