Welcome to Henners
Makers of English Sparkling Wine
On the medieval shores of Herstmonceux in East Sussex we have planted a vineyard to produce the finest English Sparkling wine. With an exceptional micro-climate, our vineyard has steep south facing slopes, and beautifully free draining soils to give the perfect terroir for our wine.
Classic Champagne varieties Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier have been planted, with a selection of clones and rootstocks to give an assemblage of flavours and aromas to the finished wine.
Harvesting only a week after Champagne, the oustanding quality of this vineyard is evident, and only fruit grown in this unique place is used for Henners. It is carefully hand-harvested and selected, then gently pressed in our purpose-built winery only metres from the vineyard.
After fermentation and blending the wines are bottled and left to develop in our cellars until they reach peak maturity.
Henners will be released in 2012
