Gusbourne Members’ Edition 2019 Collectors Twenty Nineteen

Created exclusively for our Collector members, this special cuvée brings together 70% Chardonnay and 30% Pinot Noir. Extended ageing on the lees and in our cellars has given the 2019 vintage depth and complexity, while its freshness and structure promise further development in the years ahead.

The nose shows delicate citrus, yellow apple and stone fruit notes. The palate is full of fresh green apple, lemon curd and nectarine, alongside a beautiful salty mineral note and soft vanilla spice. It also shows more evolution from extended lees ageing, with toasted hazelnuts and freshly baked pastry. The wine is elegant and complex, with a long, lingering finish. It's delicious now, but will continue to develop over time.

This would be perfect with halibut and a lemon butter sauce, a simple dressed crab or garlic mushrooms on toast.
