Gusbourne Blanc de Blancs 2019 Gift Box 75cl

Gusbourne Blanc de Blancs 2019 Gift Box 75cl is a refined, single-estate English sparkling wine from Gusbourne Estate in Appledore, Kent, crafted exclusively from 100% Chardonnay grown on the estate's south-facing, low-altitude coastal vineyards. Founded in 2004 with a commitment to world-class quality, Gusbourne now spans 90 hectares across Kent and Sussex, producing own-fruit sparkling wines of exceptional precision. The outstanding 2019 vintage benefited from balanced rainfall, successful flowering, and a slow, cool ripening period in September/October, yielding complex, layered fruit with vibrant acidity. Whole-bunch pressed and bottle-fermented, it spent 3 years on lees (bottled July 2020, disgorged April 2023) at a moderate 7.5 g/l dosage and pH 2.96 for elegance and freshness. Pale golden with fine mousse, the nose bursts with vibrant citrus, green apple, nectarine, and clementine; the palate is crisp, precise, and creamy, delivering lemon sherbet, pink grapefruit, white stone fruit, toasted nuts, brioche, and a long, mineral-driven finish. Drink now through 2028 for peak vibrancy and evolving complexity. Presented in a premium gift box, this is a benchmark English Blanc de Blancs—ideal as an aperitif or with seafood, shellfish, goat's cheese, or light poultry.
