Gusbourne Guinevere 2023 is a still white wine from Kent, produced from Chardonnay grown on south-facing clay and chalk slopes near Appledore. The fruit was whole-bunch pressed and fermented in French oak, with a portion undergoing malolactic conversion to build texture. Aromas of citrus peel, green apple and toasted hazelnut are joined by subtle notes of smoke and struck flint. The palate is finely weighted, its creamy mid-palate balanced by bright acidity and a chalky mineral line. Oak influence is precise and well-judged, leading to a focused, saline finish that underscores the wine’s English cool-climate character.
