Produced using the classical method our Henners Brut NV is a blend of the three classic sparkling grape varieties, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, grown on both our 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.
Blend: Chardonnay 40%, Pinot Noir 35%, Pinot Meunier 25%
Sourdough 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 leesy flavour helping to provide a complex and moreish palate. Balanced acidity and a long finish make this a very classy sparkling wine.
94 Wine Enthusiast This offers lovely richness and autolytic characters like roasted nuts, butterscotch and lemon curd right off the batt. The creamy opulence is cut through by a lovely line of acidity and a fine, persistent bead of bubbles. Concentrated flavors flow to a long finish. Flies England's fizz flag oh-so-high.
93 Decanter Wheat crackers, vanilla seeds, citrus and a hint of red apple on the nose, with a classy, intense palate of brioche, yeasts, green apple and citrus fruits. The mouth-smacking acidity cut through the creamy texture, leading to a long, cereal-scented finish.
