2019 Gusbourne Estate, Blanc de Noirs, Kent, England

Gusbourne Estate has become a standard-bearer of high-quality English sparkling and still wines. Set amid the gentle hills of Kent, the vineyards lie across the Old Saxon Way pilgrimage route, swept over by cool coastal breezes. Today, the winemaking team is headed up by Mary Bridges, whose philosophy is focused on diving into the details of each specific plot and understanding how each part contributes to the whole.
