Gusbourne found its way to Artisan Malbec through someone very dear to us, a close friend and one of our most loyal customers, who first tasted it in England. When we shared a bottle together, we fell in love with it too. It may be neither Argentine nor Malbec, but its place here feels entirely natural. For us, wine has always been about the people, places and moments it brings back. We wanted to share Gusbourne with you in that same spirit: a beautiful wine for your table, carrying a memory of ours and ready to become part of yours.

100% chardonnay sourced from clay and sandy soils in Kent, and chalk soils in West Sussex.

Whole bunch pressed and naturally settled; fermentation in stainless steel with a small percentage in old oak barrels. Bottled in June 2020; matured on lees for 39+ months. 7.5g/l. 

Bright citrus notes of ripe lemon and orange peel, along with green apple and Williams pear. On the palate, the wine is focused and elegant, driven by more citrus and orchard fruits, with stone fruits notes of white peach. The fruit sits alongside a richer, pâtisserie character of toasted nuts, brioche and lemon meringue pie. The mouthfeel is linear and fresh, leading to a zesty mineral note on the long finish.
