WINE MAKING PROCESS
Gusbourne Brut Reserve LD 2015 is produced using the traditional method, also known as the 'Great British Classic Method'. The grapes, a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, are sourced exclusively from Gusbourne's own vineyards. Following primary fermentation, the wine undergoes a secondary fermentation in the bottle, followed by an extended period of aging on its lees for four to five years. After disgorgement, it rests for an additional six months. This meticulous process is central to Gusbourne's philosophy of creating high-quality, vintage English sparkling wines.
