This autumn, Gusbourne made history by becoming the first English producer to receive the Chairman’s Trophy at the Champagne & Sparkling Wine World Championships (CSWWC) for consistent excellence across its wines. The accolade was accompanied by recognition from Walpole as ‘British Luxury Brand of the Year’, alongside a series of prestigious international rankings. Gusbourne is an example of English wine’s ascent on the global stage, and the wine producer’s position as one of the top global producers.
