Our Story
Henners is part of a family of wineries with roots across the world, drawing inspiration from sister vineyards in France, Italy, South Africa and New Zealand, while celebrating the ‘Englishness’ that makes our wines special.
Founded in the early 2000s, our winery is based in the village of Herstmonceux on England’s south coast. Just five miles from the English Channel, our vineyard thrives on a strong coastal influence, with sea breezes that bring a crisp salinity and personality to our wines. As we’ve evolved, we’ve expanded our winery and introduced new wines and grape varieties, while staying true to our sense of place. We create remarkable wines to be part of life’s moments, chosen when it matters.
Our Approach
From grape to glass, our team’s dedication to honouring tradition while simultaneously embracing innovation defines our range of award-winning English still and sparkling wines. As proud founding members of Sustainable Wines of Great Britain, we remain steadfast in our dedication to quality and sustainability.
We work with a network of grape growers across the South East of England to source the finest fruit bringing together a mix of terroirs and climates which allow us to produce excellent wines year after year. As is normally the way, a French winemaker described this approach most romantically – “If you are playing the piano and only have three keys, you limit the tune you can play. By adding more keys, the greater the options and the more beautiful the tune you have available”… Our growers and their vineyards are the extra keys and are vital to the tune we play.
