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 93 hectares 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.

Gusbourne's luxury brand enjoys premium price positioning and is distributed
in the finest establishments both in the UK and abroad. Our wines can be found
in leading luxury retailers, restaurants, hotels and stockists, always being
aware that where we are says a lot about who we are.
