Sustainability
Working with nature at our heart, today and for the vintages to come
Our approach
At Gusbourne, we work as sustainably as possible – today, and for the vintages to come. We’re proud to be a founder member of the Sustainable Wines of Great Britain.
You can find out more about the way we work below – or read our full sustainability report here.
In the winery
We’re measuring and moving forward with our processes in the winery – and we’ve made great strides in recent years. Today, our winery energy comes from 99% renewable sources; we’ve reduced winery bottling waste to zero and we used 72% less water at harvest 2023 compared with harvest 2022.
In the vineyards
In both Kent and Sussex, our approach in the vineyards is low-impact, regenerative agriculture. In our most recent vineyard audit, we received Gold accreditation for our work in managing our vineyards sustainably, protecting our soil, conserving the environment, promoting biodiversity and minimising the vineyard carbon footprint.
And beyond
We’re fortunate to control our processes from grape to glass: we grow, craft and sell everything ourselves. This means we can deliver change and make progress towards environmental goals in a significant way. We know there’s more to do and, within the next three years, we’re committed to measuring, understanding and reducing our carbon footprint beyond the winery and the vineyards.
