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.

Produced only in exceptional vintages this Blanc de Blancs is a blend of 100% chardonnay. Aged on lees for a minimum of 36 months our Blanc de Blancs typifies the linear purity of this classic style. Selected from the finest lots of Chardonnay, ensuring that the wine has the fruit character, structure and elegance required for extended ageing. Only 5,000 bottles produced.

Jable de Tao is winemaker Carmelo Peña's expression of the Lanzarote island. A field blend of four native varieties (Malvasía Volcanica, Listán Blanco, Listán Negro and Diego) from a variety of soils and aspects. Carmelo’s intention is to bottle the nuanced terroirs of Lanzarote under a unique wine. The wine is direct pressed into barrel, concrete tanks and large foudres, where it ferments and ages. The wine has hints of lemony cream on the nose followed by limes and green apples. On the palate, it is textured and creamy with hints of lemon rind and a long, saline, mineral finish.

4Kilos was set up in 2006 by former Anima Negra winemaker Francesc Grimalt and musician Sergio Caballero. Grimalt rescued the Balearic variety Callet and they also have small amounts of local variety Fogoneu. Taking grapes from north and south Mallorca they vinify them in a converted sheep farm using a combination of stainless steel and open top oak fermenters. The name 4 Kilos comes from their initial investment of 4 million pesetas, which so far looks like money well spent. They work in a very low-intervention style, using only low/no sulphur and they harvest earlier than most with the goal of making fresh, but complex, wines that speak of the island they’re from.

Elegant aromas of fresh citrus peel, white flowers and a hint of green melon. The palate is full of crisp orchard fruit and a stony minerality and outlined by a gentle chalky grip and a long finish.

Antonio Galloni, September 2024
The 2020 Barbaresco Riserva Montestefano is one of the most elegant, polished wines in this range. Bright red-toned fruit, blood orange, spice, mint and cedar are beautifully lifted. The tannins are remarkably polished for a young, recently bottled Riserva. I admire its poise and elegance. This is an especially refined edition of the Montestefano. In 2020, the mix of vineyards is a bit younger than in the past, as one of the blocks of older vineyards was replanted and not used. If I could have only one of the Riservas in 2020, this would be it!
