The Prize

A two-hour hosted tour in which you'll find out what makes Gusbourne corner of England so special for winemaking. Enjoy a guided walk in the vines in Kent, a tour of the winery and a tutored wine tasting in their tasting room.

Gusbourne sources all their grapes used for their winemaking solely from Gusbourne vineyards. They have 60 hectares at Gusbourne Estate in Kent and 30 hectares in West Sussex that are planted with the 3 classic varieties of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier.

Aligned with their vision to create the finest wines they possibly can, they choose to plant predominantly Burgundian clones in their vineyards.

These clones produce lower yields than other classic clones, but the resultant fruit is riper and has significantly more flavour, making their grapes 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 their wines, and they aim to allow the combination of site, soil and hard work in the vines to reflect in every bottle.As such, they interfere as little as possible with nature's own processes, and prefer to let their grapes speak for themselves.
