Gusbourne Chardonnay Guinevere is a unique and award-winning wine from the renowned English winery Gusbourne. Named after Guinevere, the mythical queen from Arthurian legend, the wine embodies the splendor and power that this name carries.

A unique terroir for Gusbourne Chardonnay Guinevere

Gusbourne Chardonnay Guinevere comes from the Boot Hill Vineyard, a south-facing vineyard in Appledore, Kent. This vineyard boasts a unique soil composition of clay and sandy loam, which contributes to the complexity and character of the Chardonnay grapes grown there. The region's temperate climate, combined with the chalky clay soils, creates ideal conditions for growing high-quality grapes. The grapes are hand-harvested from specially selected vineyards and then carefully brought to the cellar. There, alcoholic fermentation takes place in barriques, oak barrels, at cellar temperature. This method helps preserve the freshness and fruitiness of the grapes and contributes to the complex aromas characteristic of Gusbourne Chardonnay Guinevere. After fermentation, the wine is aged for a further 10 months in French oak, 20 percent of which is new. The use of oak gives the wine its rich texture, subtle vanilla notes, and ensures a well-integrated blend of oak and fruit. To soften the acidity and make the wine even smoother and creamier, Gusbourne Chardonnay Guinevere also undergoes malolactic fermentation. This process converts sharp malic acid into softer lactic acid, contributing to the wine's refined and elegant style.

A lively Gusbourne Chardonnay Guinevere

In the glass, the Gusbourne Chardonnay Guinevere shines with a bright, golden color. Its seductive bouquet captivates with aromas of ripe peach, juicy pear, refreshing citrus, and subtle vanilla notes from the oak. On the palate, the wine reveals its full and silky character. The Guinevere Chardonnay is a masterpiece of elegance and complexity, distinguished by its finesse and vibrancy.
