Appledore's Gusbourne Estate is right up there near the top of the English sparkling wine tree, and this nicely mature blend of the traditional Champenois trio of varieties (Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier) is drinking delightfully at the moment, that trickle of oh-so-English, Cox's apple-tart acidity joined by a smidgen of toasted oat biscuitiness, elegant mousse and a citrussy-fresh finish.

Tasted blind. Came ninth out of 12 wines. Pale pinkish gold. Lots of froth. Very light nose. But very delicate structure and well built and blended. An edge of elderflowers - may mean English - if so, it’s an excellent one. Extremely flirtatious Extra Brut style. English?

Top quality for the cash, this awesome English bubbly is shrill and bright with a dazzling rich lemon wow factor. Stunning.Olly Smith, The Mail on Sunday (Feb 2015)
Gusbourne
Despite boasting only a short history (the 2006 was their first release) Gusbourne Estate vineyards have notched up quite a reputation, winning awards along the way. The vineyard is at Appledore in Kent, roughly mid-way between Ashford and Rye. Planted with the 'usual' trio of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, the grapes are hand-picked. A small portion of the harvest is fermented in oak, but most of it takes place in stainless-steel before the second fermentation in bottle. The wines are aged on their lees for a minimum of 22 months before dégorgement.
