Note to Editors

Gusbourne produces and distributes a range of high quality and award winning vintage English sparkling wines from grapes grown in its own vineyards in Kent and West Sussex.

The Gusbourne business was founded by Andrew Weeber in 2004 with the first vineyard plantings at Appledore in Kent. The first wines were released in 2010 to critical acclaim. Following additional vineyard plantings in 2013 and 2015 in both Kent and West Sussex, Gusbourne now has 231 acres of mature vineyards. The NEST visitor centre was opened next to the winery in Appledore in 2017, providing tours, tastings and a direct outlet for our wines.

Right from the beginning, Gusbourne's intention has always been to produce the finest English sparkling wines. Starting with carefully chosen sites, we use best practice in establishing and maintaining the vineyards and conduct green harvests to ensure we achieve the highest quality grapes for each vintage. A quest for excellence is at the heart of everything we do. We blind taste hundreds of samples before finalising our blends and even after the wines are bottled, they spend extended time on their lees to add depth and flavour. Once disgorged, extra cork ageing further enhances complexity. Our winemaking process remains traditional, but one that is open to innovation where appropriate. It takes four years to bring a vineyard into full production and a further four years to transform those grapes into Gusbourne's premium sparkling wine.

We are one of England's most awarded wine producers. Highlights include: 

-  Three times winner of the International Wine & Spirits Challenge (IWSC) English Wine Producer of the Year, having won the award in 2013, 2015 and 2017- a unique achievement

-  Highest rated English sparkling wine by the Wine Enthusiast in 2020

-  Trophy for best English Still Red Wine at Wine GB awards for past 3 years

-  Best in Class trophies at the Champagne & Sparkling World Championships in both 2018 and 2019

-  'Best English Sparkling Wine' as well as overall 'IWC China Champion Sparkling Wine 2019' at the International Wine Challenge held in Shanghai
