This Blanc de Blancs showcases the exceptional quality of Chardonnay grown at Henners vineyard, produced only in the finest years.
Classic Chardonnay flavours of lemon, grapefruit, and orange zest are complemented by riper stone fruit notes, with hints of tarte tatin and pastry. The result is a mouth-watering, elegant wine that reflects its extended lees aging.
Owned 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.
Henners vineyard, known for its ideal Chardonnay-growing conditions, carefully selects the best lots of Chardonnay in only the most exceptional vintages to ensure the wine has the fruit character and structure needed for long aging.
This Blanc de Blancs is aged on lees for at least 36 months, bringing a linear purity and refined elegance. The finest Chardonnay grapes are vinified with precision to create a wine that's perfect for extended aging, with only 5,000 bottles produced.
Perfect aperitif or celebration wine.
