ORIGINS

Winery: Gusbourne

Region: Kent

Kent is a county located in the southeast of England, known for its picturesque countryside, historic castles, and growing wine industry. The region has a long history of agriculture, but it wasn't until the late 20th century that vineyards began to be established in the area. The combination of a mild climate, well-draining soils, and increasing demand for English wines has led to the rapid growth of the Kent wine region in recent years.
