Tasting Notes

Orange blossom, apple, spice and sweet pastry aromas accompanied by candied citrus and brioche notes on the palate. Gently persistent fizz with great depth of flavour, balanced acidity and a mouth-wateringly long length.

Producer details

When it comes to English wine there’s a lot to shout about, not least the stunning sparkling wines from Henners. Based just 4 miles from the sea in Herstmonceux, East Sussex, the 7 acre vineyard was created in 2007 by ex-Formula One engineer, Lawrence Warr. The winery was named in honour of Larry's French ancestor, Henners Dubois, who was forced to flee Paris for England during the French Revolution in the in the late 18th Century. The label design* is inspired by Thomas Bewick (1753 - 1828), the Northumbrian artist acclaimed for his incredibly detailed, captivating wood-engravings of English life and nature. Bewick’s innate skill with this intricate medium proved transformative to the art of wood-engraving and the illustration of natural history. He was also known for his wicked, yet always sympathetic, humour - capturing drunks, louts and fools in the landscape of the day. Most of his pieces were engraved to be printed directly into books and are rarely larger than the palm of your hand, indeed he would sketch the idea on his thumbnail before committing to wood. *Label image: Tail-piece in ‘A History of British Birds’, is said to be of Bewick himself as a thirsty traveller drinking from his hat.

In the vineyard

Already a founder member of WineGB’s Sustainability Programme Henners Vineyard can now announce it is one of just 18 accredited members to have been certified as sustainable by Wine GB.

In the winery

For the Native Grace Henners always look for parcels of wines which shine out from special vintages and they blend across multiple vintages using a small proportion of reserve wines to bring additional depth and complexity to the wine. Aged on lees for 2 years.
