Gusbourne for afternoon tea
Afternoon tea is a cherished ritual at many PoB Hotels, and nothing complements this tradition more perfectly than Gusbourne Brut Rosé.
"Afternoon tea is such a quintessentially English experience, and the right wine can elevate it beautifully,” says Laura Rhys, Master Sommelier and Gusbourne’s Global Brand Ambassador.
“Gusbourne Brut Rosé, with its bright red berry fruit, delicate floral notes and crisp freshness is a perfect pairing. It complements everything from the richness of clotted cream to the lightness of patisserie, bringing balance and refinement."
For hotels offering Gusbourne as the pour for afternoon tea during the summer months (June to August), additional support is available, including branded glassware, large ice buckets, sparkling wine stoppers and “by the glass” promotional assistance.
