It's hard to choose between this fine vintage blend (of the Champagne grapes Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier) and the equally impressive Rosé fizz from Gusbourne, but either way, this fine young vintage fizz shows beautiful notes of malt and yeast on first sniff and then a ripe Cox's apple fruitiness that's cushioned on the tongue by a rich mousse with a spicy, appley tang that leads to an appetisingly cleansing dry finish.

Gusbourne
Despite boasting only a short history (the 2006 was their first release) Gusbourne Estate vineyards have notched up quite a reputation, winning awards along the way. The vineyard is at Appledore in Kent, roughly mid-way between Ashford and Rye. Planted with the 'usual' trio of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, the grapes are hand-picked. A small portion of the harvest is fermented in oak, but most of it takes place in stainless-steel before the second fermentation in bottle. The wines are aged on their lees for a minimum of 22 months before dégorgement.
