Historia

Our vision is simple. We strive to create te finest wines in the world.

A deep respect for nature, an uncompromising quest for quality and a fastidious approach to detail is at the heart of everything we do - from the way we grow our grapes to the way we age our wines. The original Gusbourne Estate in Appledore, Kent dates back to 1410. In 2004, Andrew Weeber took over the estate with a clear vision and a single goal: to create English sparkling wines that would stand up alongside the very finest offerings from across the globe.

 

The first vines were planted that year. In 2010, the debut vintages of Gusbourne Brut Reserve 2006 and Gusbourne Blanc de Blancs 2006 were released to critical acclaim. Gusbourne quickly earned a reputation as a producer of outstanding quality wines, with accolades from some of the industry's most exacting critics. 

 

In 2013, Gusbourne was admitted to the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange, with the distinction of being the first and only UK wine producer ever quoted on AIM.

Viiniviljelykset

We have 40.1 hectares at Gusbourne Estate in Kent and 21.9 hectares in West Sussex that are planted with the classic Champagne varieties of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier.

 

This means that we produce lower yields than other classic clones, but that the resultant fruit is riper and has significantly more flavour. The grapes are thus ideal for the production of fine sparkling wine. The distinct terroir and exceptionally mild microclimates of our surroundings add their own depth and complexity to our wines, and we aim to allow the combination of site, soil and hard work in the vines to reflect in every bottle.

Viinivalmistus

Andrew Weeber's vision of creating the finest wines in the world is supported by precision winemaking practices that are designed to optimize quality every step of the way. A combination of the best age-old traditions with modern technology and cutting-edge equipment allows us to sit comfortably between old and new world winemaking, while at the same time bringing our own exacting quality standards to the process. Respect for the vineyards, the fruit and the natural elements involved in winemaking means that our approach favours minimal intervention. 

 

We consider ourselves as custodians who guide the grapes through the winemaking process. Along the way, we do whatever we can to ensure the very best results. Naturally, our methods are a work in progress, and every vintage allows us to learn, adapt and improve on the years gone by. What remains constant is our ethos of championing excellence, which remains at the core of our business, our people and our wines.

 

Our winemaker, Charlie Holland honed his skills in Australia, Germany, New Zealand and the USA before taking the helm at Gusbourne. With numerous international awards to his name, Charlie has produced some of the most celebrated sparkling wines in the UK and beyond.

 

In the vineyards, the grapes are hand-picked by a long-standing local team. Only the highest quality grapes are bought into the winery, where they are gently pressed in whole bunches to yield only the best juice. Our grapes are then fermented in thermo-regulated stainless steel tanks and a selection of oak barrels. A process of strictly regimented juice selection allows us to carefully choose the individual lots of base wines while maintaining the characteristic style of our range.

 

Once bottled, the wines are stacked by hand in the cellar before beginning a period of prolonged lees ageing. Extended time on the lees is essential for adding depth, and our wines spend a minimum of 36 months in the process. Once disgorged, extended cork ageing further enhances the complexity of our wines.
