Gusbourne - Selhurst Vineyard

Gusbourne Estate: A Complete Guide to Award-Winning English Sparkling and Still Wines from Appledore, Kent

A Leading Light of English Sparkling Wine

Set among the quiet lanes, woodland and rolling farmland of the Garden of England, Gusbourne has, in just over two decades, become one of the most respected names in English wine. From a single 5-hectare planting at Butness Vineyard in 2004, the estate has grown into a 60-hectare vineyard operation spanning Kent and West Sussex, producing exclusively vintage wines from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grown in its own soils. Their credentials are unrivalled for a producer of this size: three-time IWSC English Wine Producer of the Year, recipient of the King's Award for Enterprise in International Trade in 2024, named British Luxury Brand of the Year by Walpole in 2025, and ranked #28 in the World's 50 Best Vineyards for visitor experience in the same year.

Today, the estate welcomes guests to The Nest, an award-winning cellar door and tasting room overlooking the vines in Appledore, Kent. Here you can drop in for a glass of sparkling by the glass, book a guided tour, or treat yourself to a full day of estate hospitality. The wines, meanwhile, are shipped with complimentary UK mainland delivery via the online shop, and are poured at some of the country's most prestigious restaurants, hotels and opera houses.

Location and Setting

Gusbourne is located in Appledore, a small village on the edge of the Romney Marsh in Kent. The address is Gusbourne Estate, Kenardington Road, Appledore, Ashford, Kent, TN26 2BE. The winery is a 15-minute drive from Ashford and around ten minutes from Rye, both of which are on direct rail routes from London. Appledore itself is one of several neighbouring Kentish vineyards that make up the Wine Garden of England. The climate of this corner of the south-east - the warmest and driest in the UK, with mild, maritime winters and gentle sea breezes - gives Gusbourne a long, even growing season and the kind of slow, steady ripening that suits the classic Champagne varieties.

You can also reach the estate by public transport. Trains run every 15 minutes from St Pancras International and Stratford International to Ashford International, with onward connections three stops further on the Hastings line to Rye. From either station, the estate's preferred taxi partner ETM Cars offers a fixed £30 fare (quote "Gusbourne" when booking). The team strongly advise against travelling from Appledore station, which is not served by taxis or regular buses.

A Brief History of Gusbourne

The Gusbourne estate takes its name from the original medieval estate founded in 1410 by John de Goosebourne. His family's crest - three geese - still adorns Appledore Church and lives on as the goose mark found on every bottle of Gusbourne today.

In 2003, Andrew Weeber, a South African entrepreneur with deep roots in Stellenbosch, purchased the estate with a bold ambition: to make a world-class English sparkling wine. The first vines were planted at Butness in early May 2004, with Jon Pollard joining the team as employee "No.1" soon afterwards. The team brought in vines and trellising from specialist nurseries in France and Germany, and sought advice from neighbours including Mike Roberts, the founder of Ridgeview.

The first proper harvest came in 2006, yielding around 30 tonnes of fruit, which went to Ridgeview for winemaking. The first Gusbourne wines - Brut Reserve 2006 and Blanc de Blancs 2006 - were released in 2010 to critical acclaim. The 2012 Olympics saw Gusbourne served at the London games, and in 2014 the team expanded into West Sussex, adding 29 hectares of new terroir. The current Appledore winery was completed in 2016, followed by the opening of The Nest in 2017 and a secondary production facility at Amsbury in 2020.

Perhaps the most remarkable chapter in the estate's history has been the relationship with the Royal Household. In 2022, Gusbourne was selected to supply the Platinum Jubilee English Sparkling Wine for the Royal Collection, and in 2023 the estate was commissioned to produce the Royal Collection's English Sparkling Wine for the coronations of King Charles III and Queen Camilla. The same year, Mary Bridges was appointed Head Winemaker, leading Gusbourne into its next era of innovation and excellence.

2026 marks the anniversary of the estate's 20th vintage, a year of landmark releases and celebrations. The 20th-vintage celebrations include a limited-edition release of Gusbourne Blanc de Blancs 2016 featuring the artwork of Margate-based artist Lily Mixe, whose mural Roots-Nest now adorns The Nest and explores the hidden connections between vine, fruit, soil and season.

The Vineyards

Gusbourne's winemaking begins in the soil. From their first day, the team set out to grow every grape they use themselves, an unusual commitment for an English producer. Today the estate spans 60 hectares across Kent and West Sussex, with sites chosen for their differing character: chalk and flint vineyards in Sussex bringing elegance and freshness; clay-rich sites in Kent adding richness and depth.

The original Kentish sites - Butness, Cherry Garden, Pond Field and Boot Hill - all sit in and around Appledore. Butness, the original 2004 planting, is the home of "vine No.1" and a roughly five-hectare handkerchief of land with a uniform southern slope. Five different Chardonnay clones sit alongside Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier in a deliberately diverse mix, chosen to translate complexity into the final wine. Boot Hill, planted from 2006, sits higher and more exposed, but has proved the star site in terms of quality, giving its name to several single-vineyard bottlings. Commanders, Heartbreak and Mill Hill East followed in 2014, with each parcel planted deliberately with a particular blend or single variety in mind.

The site work is led by Chief Vineyard Manager Jon Pollard, who has worked with the estate since the beginning and remains its longest-standing employee. The team's philosophy is to let nature be their guide. Cover crops and complementary planting encourage biodiversity, while a low-intervention, regenerative farming approach nurtures the soil that has produced fruit for two decades. In recent years, the team has joined the One Block Challenge created by the Regenerative Viticulture Foundation, focusing a year of deliberate, measurable changes on Butness Vineyard.

Predominantly Burgundian clones are planted across the estate for all three classic varieties. Yields are deliberately small and berries are hand-picked at the precise moment of optimum ripeness, an approach that the team calls "suck it and see" - a phrase coined by Andrew Weeber in the early years that remains as good a description of Gusbourne's approach to winemaking today.

Winemaking Philosophy

If the vineyards are the foundation of Gusbourne's quality, the winery is where that quality is made manifest. Hand-picked grapes are gently whole-bunch pressed - a deliberate choice that yields only the cleanest, purest juice - and naturally settled for between 12 and 36 hours. Fermentation takes place primarily in thermoregulated stainless-steel tanks, with a small percentage fermented in old oak barrels for complexity. Once fermentation is complete, base wines are blind-tasted and blended, with each year's Reserve blend acting as a structural backbone of Chardonnay lifted by Pinot Noir and brightened by Pinot Meunier.

Bottling, labelling and hand-polishing are all carried out in-house. Once bottled, the wines are hand-stacked in cellars to begin the slow, patient lees-ageing process - a minimum of 26 months for the Brut Reserve, rising to as much as 67 months for the prestige cuvée, Fifty One Degrees North. After disgorgement, all bottles undergo extended ageing under premium Diam Mytik corks to gain further complexity.

If conditions in any particular year don't deliver the quality the team demands from a vintage, they don't release it. Every bottle of Gusbourne is a vintage wine, a deliberate expression of one specific year and place.

Sustainability at Gusbourne

Gusbourne is a founder member of Sustainable Wines of Great Britain, and in its most recent vineyard audit received Gold accreditation for managing soils, conserving the environment, promoting biodiversity and minimising the vineyard carbon footprint. The winery itself runs on 99% renewable energy, has reduced bottling waste to zero and is measuring its water use vintage by vintage. The full 2025 Sustainability Report sets out commitments to extend carbon measurement across the wider business over the next three years.

The Wines

All of Gusbourne's wines are made using the traditional method - the same approach used in Champagne - and every bottle is a vintage wine. The range is broad but tightly considered, running from the everyday Brut Reserve to the prestige Fifty One Degrees North.

The Classic Sparkling Range

At the heart of the range sit four classic sparklings, all of which are available now at cellar-door prices or with a member discount.

• Brut Reserve 2022 (£45, £40 to members) - Gusbourne's best-selling wine. The 2022 is opulent and elegant, with orchard fruits, toasted cobnuts, biscuit notes and a long, zesty finish. Nineteen awards and counting, including a Gold Medal at the Champagne and Sparkling Wine World Championships 2025. Find out more.
• Rosé 2020 (£55, £45 to members) - A sparkling for all seasons: characteristically complex, with red-fruit flavours, spice and balanced acidity. Try it with grilled prawns in butter, pork belly with caramelised apples, or even Eton Mess.
• Blanc de Blancs 2020 (£65, £55 to members) - Gusbourne's signature sparkling. Hints of grated ginger, croissants and toasted hazelnuts lead to a long, salty mineral finish. The 2019 vintage was named Best English Sparkling Wine at the Champagne and Sparkling Wine World Championships. Find out more.
• Blanc de Noirs 2020 (£65, £55 to members) - A gold-medal winner at the CSWWC 2025. Intense and rich, red-fruit driven and precise, with ripe raspberry, red apple and blueberry, given depth by extended lees ageing. Find out more.

For a smaller moment, there's also a half-bottle pack of two Brut Reserve 2021 (£60) - perfect for impromptu suppers, picnic hampers and quiet glasses before dinner.

Still Wines

The still wine portfolio has grown in step with the still winemaking team's confidence. Today it includes:

• Chardonnay 2024 (£40) - Hand-picked from Appledore vineyards. Bright citrus, nectarine and crunchy pear, with a wet-stone chalky mineral note. Fermented and aged for nine months in 500-litre French oak puncheons. Find out more.
• Pinot Meunier Single Vineyard Mill Hill East 2022 (£35) - A floral, fruit-driven red with red cherries, ripe blueberries and supple tannins. Aged 10 months in French oak. Find out more.
• Chardonnay Boot Hill Vineyard 2022 (£55) - Gold medal winner at the 2026 International Wine Challenge. A structured, toasty single-vineyard Chardonnay with rounded fruit and a nutty, savoury finish. Find out more.
• English Rosé 2025 (2-bottle set) - Estate-grown still rosé, made for sunny aperitifs, seafood and summer dishes. Sold out as of early 2026 (the next vintage is expected in 2027).
• Pinot Noir 2022 - Named Best English Red at the 2024 IWC Awards. Currently sold out; you can register interest for the next release.

Limited Editions

The Limited Editions are the team's experimental playground - single-vineyard, late-disgorged and artisanal bottlings produced in tiny quantities.

• Gusbourne Agrafe 2020 (£85) - The second edition in the Agrafe series, aged entirely under specialised cork rather than under crown cap. A gold-medal winner at the CSWWC 2025. Find out more.
• Oak Reserve 2019 (£75) - The boldest expression of English sparkling Chardonnay yet. Half fermented in 4,000-litre foudres and half in smaller barrels; tropical fruit, spice and a long, creamy finish. Find out more.
• Blanc de Meuniers 2019, Boot Hill Vineyard (£95) - A gold-medal winner, with summer fruits, orchard fruits, morello cherry and blueberry.
• Blanc de Blancs 2019, Butness Vineyard (£95) - The debut single-vineyard wine from the original 2004 planting. Honeyed citrus, stone fruits and a long, bold finish.
• Blanc de Blancs 2019, Commanders Vineyard (£95) - Pale, elegant, saline: green apple, lemon and lime, toasted almonds and brioche.
• Blanc de Blancs 2013 Cork Aged (£105) - A mature library release with developed notes of lemon sherbet, freshly baked bread and toasted nuts.

Fifty One Degrees North - The Prestige Cuvée

The pinnacle of the Gusbourne range, Fifty One Degrees North 2016, takes its name from the precise latitude of the vineyards. Made only in the most exceptional vintages from the finest parcels of estate-grown Chardonnay and Pinot Noir (67% and 33% respectively in the 2016 release), the wine is whole-bunch pressed and naturally settled before fermenting in stainless steel, with a small percentage in old oak. It then undergoes a minimum of 67 months on lees - more than five and a half years - before disgorgement.

The 2016 vintage was awarded a Gold Medal at the Champagne and Sparkling Wine World Championships 2025, was named No.2 in Wine Enthusiast's Top-100 Best Wines of 2025, and was praised by Tamlyn Currin of Jancis Robinson as wine that is "complete" and by Christina Pickard in The Wine Enthusiast as "England's most premium sparkler." It is available in 75cl (£195) and Magnum (£395) formats, and from late September 2026 a special limited-edition release of Blanc de Blancs 2016 will feature the Roots-Nest artwork of Lily Mixe.

Library Wines

A small collection of library wines is released exclusively to members each year, often as late-disgorged, decades-old Library Releases. The current offering includes cellar releases of Blanc de Blancs 2016 (£75) and Rosé 2016 (£65), both disgorged on 23 March 2026 to mark the 20th-vintage anniversary, alongside older Blanc de Blancs 2018, Rosé 2015, Blanc de Noirs 2019 and Brut Reserve 2013 Late Disgorged (£105). There is also a single-vineyard Chardonnay Guinevere 2019 Magnum (£80). Members-only wines are accessible once you have signed into your account.
