Tasting Note

Fabulous English Sparkling wine from Sussex. Sourdough bread aromas combine with crunchy green apple fruit to provide a wonderfully welcoming nose. The palate is fine with a lively and persistent mousse. Green apple and pear fruit characters mix with a toasted brioche flavour helping to provide a complex and more-ish palate. Balanced acidity and a long finish make this a very classy sparkling wine.

Try this as an aperitif with canapés

Kate Says

Henners is committed to sustainability, crafting exceptional sparkling wines with eco-friendly practices. Their brut is crisp, with fine bubbles and a delicate balance of citrus and brioche notes. It's perfect for any celebration and pairs wonderfully with oysters or light appetisers.

Producer Info

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.

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.

Produced using the classical method their Henners Brut NV is a blend of the three classic sparkling grape varieties, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, grown on both their own clay and neighbouring grower’s chalk soils which complement each other in terms of generosity and finesse. These components are blended each year with small proportions of reserve wine to bring additional depth and structure. Aged on lees for 3 years it is an elegant, refined wine with great balance and a delicious citrus and orchard fruit backbone.
