The 2022 vintage was warm and generous, creating what we think may be the best rendition yet of the Gardner Street Classic. Notes of elderflower and gooseberry accompanied by fleshier stone and citrus fruit flavours of melon, white peach and orange. Hints of white currant and lime zest are softened by a creaminess and structure on the palate that delivers a lovely balance of fresh, bright acidity and vibrant fruit and floral aromas that leap out of the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"title\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood match\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePork tenderloins in cider with a generous helping of mash and buttery veg, a veggie lasagne or a hake in butter sauce with capers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"half\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sidebar\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"heading\"\u003eABV\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e12.5%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"heading\"\u003eCase\/Bottle Size\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ex\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e75\u003cspan\u003ecl\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"heading\"\u003eRegion\/Country\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEast Sussex, England\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"heading\"\u003eGrape\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBacchus 90%, Chardonnay 10%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"heading\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVegetarian, Vegan\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"heading\"\u003eClosure\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScrewcap\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"heading\"\u003eWinemaker\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCollette O'Leary\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"heading\"\u003eAppellation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnglish Quality Wine PDO\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"heading\"\u003eAllergen info\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContains sulphites and no other allergens\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"heading\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container-inner dark_background\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"overlay\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prefab-slice producer-single\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"box box-full center-align-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"slide-content\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"carousel-title\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHenners\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"carousel-description\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"wine-country\"\u003eEngland\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"producer-web-page\"\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.henners.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ewww.henners.com\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container-inner\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"two-col-inner\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"half full-img center-align-content\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/boutinot.com\/manufacturer\/medium\/729_S.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"half full-stack left-align-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"desc-inner\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMeet the Producer\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen it comes to English wine there’s a lot to shout about, not least the stunning sparkling wines from Henners. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoutinot was the sole distributor of Henners from this time and developed strong ties with the winery and its wines… so when the opportunity arose 10 years later to buy the estate, they jumped at the chance. Planted with traditional Champagne varieties of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, the vines thrive in an idyllic microclimate created by the vineyard’s proximity to the sea, low altitude (only 24 metres above sea level) and steep, sunny, south facing slopes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll Henners wines are hand-crafted from start to finish; with separate fermenting of varietals and their vine clones to allow a broader range of wines for final blending; extended lees ageing for added complexity; and holding back of all bottles for at least 3 years prior to release to add depth and richness to every wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container-inner  producer-sustainability-slice\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"two-col-inner\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"half full-stack left-align-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"desc-inner\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Note on Sustainability\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHenners estate is a founder member of Sustainable Wines of Great Britain (SWGB), an initiative established in 2020 with an aim to ensure sustainability is at the heart of the English and Welsh wine industry. In 2025 Henners received SWGB’s Gold Trademark, for working to enhance the sustainability of the winery and winemaking practices, minimising the volume of water used per bottle of wine and disposing of the winery wastewater responsibly and reducing their carbon footprint per bottle of wine. This is an endorsement to Henners’ commitment to winemaking and winery management that have minimal environmental impact, as well as the ongoing promotion of biodiversity in the vineyards and protection of soils. This is no easy task to attain, requiring annual review for accreditation and ongoing improvement in methodology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"half full-img center-align-content\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/boutinot.com\/manufacturer\/sustainability\/729.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Boutinot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57617367662936,"sku":null,"price":15.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0936\/2243\/6184\/files\/EHN050.png?v=1782995651","url":"https:\/\/wenlockcellars.co.uk\/products\/henners-gardner-street-classic-bacchus-chardonnay-2023","provider":"Wenlock Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
