Based primarily in Kent, it's hard to believe that Gusbourne only started planting vines in 2004. Farming 60ha in Appledore, with a smaller estate in West Sussex, Gusbourne work with clones from Burgundy and champion low-intervention, sustainable farming, hand-picking the grapes during harvest and using rigorous selection at the sorting table to ensure only the best quality fruit makes it into the final wine.
They have been awarded IWC English Wine Producer of the Year a whopping three times (more than anyone else), and are the recipients of hundreds of medals, including a few fabled Decanter platinum awards.
"Delicate pink in appearance, with soft summer berries and floral notes on the nose. The palate shows bright red fruits, driven by ripe strawberries, fresh cherries and redcurrants, with a crisp freshness and creamy, rounded texture on the finish. We like to think of this as the perfect expression of halcyon days."

What the critics say:
"This sunset-hued vintage rosé demonstrates just how far England has come on the winemaking front. And what the country can achieve in a warm, favorable vintage like 2018. Both complex and highly crowd-pleasing, this opens with ripe raspberry, red apple, cream and spice with floral undertones. There's a lovely depth of fruit on the tangy palate, with bright acidity and a pearl necklace of bubbles flowing seamlessly through to the finish. Delicious drinking now, this is highly food-friendly and hugely classy."
"Delicate red fruit with plenty of lemon sherbet too. Delivers more on the palate than the nose, with lovely delicacy and lively froth. Silky, medium body with lingering autolytic complexity on the finish."
