Gusbourne Blanc de Blancs 2018

This Blanc de Blancs comes from carefully selected vineyards spread across Appledore (Kent) and Goodwood (West Sussex). The vineyards are situated on a limestone subsoil with sand and shells in the subsoil. The grapes are harvested entirely by hand at the beginning of October. Only the best juice is kept after a slow pressing of 24 hours. The fermentation lasts 10 days at a temperature below 20 degrees. A small part matures in old oak barrels, which gives the wine extra complexity.

After maturing for 33 months 'sur lattes', this wine develops a deep character with fine bubbles. In the nose you discover citrus aromas, grapefruit and a hint of orange zest. When tasting you experience roasted hazelnut, green apple and a subtle floral touch. The fine bubbles and the long mineral finish make this Blanc de Blancs an absolute top choice. Serve in a tulip glass for an optimal taste experience. Cheers!
