The nose shows beautiful summer fruits, hints of orchard fruits and some floral notes too. On the palate, the wine is generous and perfumed, with summer fruits alongside richer morello cherry and blueberry notes. The finish is long and refined.

WHAT ARE SINGLE VINEYARD WINES?
Single Vineyard wines are the cornerstone of what makes Gusbourne different: vintage wines which are an expression not just of a grape variety, but also of a specific site, chosen for its class and character.
With each passing year, we’ve made and tasted more than 200 base wines to refine our ideas about where our most exceptional terroirs are to be found.
Our chalk and flint vineyards in Sussex give grapes with freshness and elegance; our clay soils in Kent lend the fruit richness and depth.
It is then fascinating to experience these wines as a single-vineyard bottling rather than a blend. By zeroing in on a particular parcel of grapes, you truly experience the essence of that terroir and that year.
TASTING NOTES & FOOD PAIRINGS
Fish, shellfish, cured meats, especially grilled langoustines, ginger and soy salmon or a golden beetroot salad. Tasting note: Pale golden in colour, with a fine beads of bubbles in the glass. The nose shows lots of beautiful summer fruits of strawberry and raspberry, hints of orchard fruits with some floral notes too. On the palate, the wine is generous and perfumed, with the same summer fruit character alongside richer morello cherry and blueberry notes. Behind the fruit characters, a floral note with subtle spice and toasted nuts brings some complexity, leading to a long and refined finish.
