Biscuity brioche on the nose, with delicate white flower and full fruit. Citrus, apple and 'leesy' characters add complexity to the palate. Henners Vintage is produced solely from grapes grown on their outstanding estate.Producer DetailsOwned and run by Lawrence Warr, Henners is the result of a long term dream to produce the finest English Sparkling Wine. Lawrence started his career as an automotive engineer in the exciting world of Formula One. Having left Formula One, to set up an engineering consultancy, the search for the perfect vineyard site began. The search was a lengthy and dedicated one - as the ideal combination of soils, aspect, slope, altitude and microclimate was difficult to find. After two years he found the site at Herstmonceux, East Sussex. The vineyard was planted in May 2007, with the winery following in 2009. The vineyard is planted with 40% Chardonnay, 39% Pinot Noir and 21% Pinot Meunier. The Henners name derives from Lawrences French ancestry. Henners Dubois was forced to flee Paris during the French Revolution, in the late 18th century.2009 Vintage: 'Subtle and delicate, this shows finesse with its green orchard fruit flavours sitting happily alongside almonds, citrus notes and dried fruits. 'Well-balanced with a wonderful finish,' said Olivier Marie of Coq d'Argent. 'Do try with salmon dishes.'
