Henners Gardner Street Classic Bacchus Chardonnay

A blend of Chardonnay and Bacchus from vineyards in Essex and Kent

Sourced from vineyard partners in Essex and Kent, the vineyard parcels were harvested separately and fermented as small lots to allow the expression of their respective sites to shine through. 30% of the blend was fermented in neutral 300L French oak barrels and allowed to go through malolactic fermentation, while the remaining parcels were fermented at cool temperatures in stainless steel and did not go through malolactic fermentation.

Aromatic, bright and zesty. The 2022 vintage was warm and generous, creating 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.
