Gusbourne Estate
"Gusbourne Estate is in Kent, between Royal Tunbridge Wells and Hastings; it is the realisation of Andrew Weeber's vision of creating the finest wines in the world, supported by precision winemaking practices that are designed to optimize quality every step of the way.
Grapes and Harvesting
In the vineyards, the grapes are hand-picked by a long-standing local team. Only the highest quality grapes are brought into the winery, where they are gently pressed in whole bunches to yield only the best juice. Our grapes are then fermented in thermo-regulated stainless steel tanks and a selection of oak barrels. A process of strictly regimented juice selection allows us to carefully choose the individual lots of base wines while maintaining the characteristic style of our range.
Winemaking
A combination of the best age-old traditions with modern technology and cutting-edge equipment allows Gusbourne to sit comfortably between old and new world winemaking, while at the same time bringing their own exacting quality standards to the process. Respect for the vineyards, the fruit and the natural elements involved in winemaking means that the approach favours minimal intervention.
Tasting Room
Gusbourne opened a smart new tasting room, The Nest, in 2017.
Accessibility
A wide range of accessible experiences is offered from the cellar door 'The Nest', including hosted tours of the estate, the state of the art winemaking facilities and tutored tasting of award winning sparkling and still wines.
Estate access is via a gravel track, although an electric buggy is available on bookable experiences, driven by one of your hosts."
