Combines rose hip and elderflower with classic autolytic complexity and fresh apple fruit. Long, yeasty and expressive – really hitting the spot. Long, classic length with lots of baked-bread aftertaste. (RH)

The 2018 Brut Reserve from Gusbourne in Kent provides more evidence, not that it is really necessary anymore, that English sparkling wine is really delivering. A tripartite blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier aged for 36 months on the lees, it offers enticing orange blossom, Nashi pear and hints of crème fraiche on the nose. The palate is imbued with a slightly creamy texture offset by well-judged acidity and a malic bite on the finish.
