Henners Gardner Street Classic Bacchus Chardonnay
- O
- W
Gardner Street is the historic name of Henners’ home village of Herstmonceux. The old name captures the hand-harvested, artisanal craft of tending vines & wines down English country lanes. A modern marriage of fresh, floral Bacchus with a little barrel-fermented Chardonnay.
Produced from 90% Bacchus and 10% Chardonnay, grapes and fermented as small lots to allow the expression of their local terroir. 30% of the blend is often fermented in neutral 300L French oak barrels and allowed to go through malolactic fermentation, while the remaining grapes are fermented at cool temperatures in stainless steel and do not go through malolactic fermentation. These are then blended, adding complexity, body and flavour. You can expect aromatic, bright and zesty with notes of elderflower and gooseberry accompanied by stone fruit and citrus. There are also notes of melon, white peach and orange with hints of white currant and lime zest that are softened by a creaminess and structure on the palate derived from the malolactic fermentation. It has a beautiful balance, bright acidity and vibrant fruit and floral aromas.
