Gusbourne
Fanciful Name: Brut Rosé
Varietal: Sparkling
Country of Origin: United Kingdom
Appellation: Kent
Retail Price: $79.99

Tasting Notes: Yes, you read that correctly, England. Southern England shares much of the same characteristics as the Champagne region of France. This combination of chardonnay, pinot noir and pinot meunier creates a wine with a profile similar to some Champagne houses’ top offering, at a much more attractive price. Elegant berry, cherry and tree fruit notes abound on the nose and palate. Lovely mouthfeel and the long finish add to the wine's appeal.

Country of Origin: United Kingdom
Appellation: Kent
Retail Price: $63.99

Tasting Notes: Elegant, with superb fruit and weight on the palate that showcase the wine's pedigree. About two-thirds red grape varieties, there is a richness, tempered by the acidic backbone. Another world-class sparkling wine from England, which can go toe to toe with top-end Champagnes.
