Unfiltered Filler 06 Talking Gusbourne English Sparkling with Charlie Holland

This episode we sit down with the incredible winemaker of Gusbourne Estate: Charlie Holland. Learn about how he got into winemaking and all things Gusbourne: where the vineyards are and why they only make Vintage Sparkling wine rather than blends. We talk about the history of wine in England, the history of Champagne bottles and Charlie's thoughts on English Pinot Noir – It is not just about the sparkling here. We also discuss the pros and cons of regionality in England. This episode we are tasting the 2010 Blanc de Blanc and the 2010 Late Disgorged Sparkling. You can buy wines directly from their website https://www.gusbourne.com/wines and the vineyards are open to visitors so if you live in the south of England – go and see this great English winery. Let us know if you have tasted Gusbourne wines before? Are you a fan of English Sparkling wine?
