Description

Henners Brut NV is a testament to the precision and craftsmanship of English sparkling wine, rooted in the exceptional terroir of the South Downs. The vineyards benefit from free-draining, chalky soils similar to those of Champagne, which impart minerality and finesse to the wine. Winemaking is meticulous, employing traditional methods with hand-harvested grapes and extended lees aging to build complexity and texture. The cool climate slows ripening, preserving vibrant acidity and nuanced fruit character, while careful blending across vintages ensures consistency and depth. The result is a wine of elegant structure, expressive purity, and finely tuned balance.

30 months on lees.

Henners

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.

Planted with traditional Champagne varieties of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, the vines thrive in an idyllic microclimate created by the vineyard’s proximity to the sea, low altitude (only 24 metres above sea level) and steep, sunny, south facing slopes.

All Henners wines are hand-crafted from start to finish; with separate fermenting of varietals and their vine clones to allow a broader range of wines for final blending; extended lees ageing for added complexity; and holding back of all bottles for at least 3 years prior to release to add depth and richness to every wine. Hand-crafted with every attention to detail, our winemakers create award winning wines of depth, complexity and elegance that are perfect for any occasion.
