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 bright Pinot Noir and plush Pinot Meunier.
65% pinot noir, 35% pinot meunier blend of wine from fruit sourced 100% from Henners clay soils. The fruit was hand picked and loaded into the press as whole bunches before around 10% of the remaining fruit was manually destemmed and loaded into the press on top of the whole bunches for a 12 hours maceration to draw out colour and delicate fruit flavours. Following pressing the juice was fermented 100% in stainless steel and did not undergo malolactic fermentation. The warm 2020 vintage has delivered a ripe, round, fruit-forward rose packed with red fruit character.
Henners Gardner Street Rose Pinot Noir Pinot Meunier has seaside salinity and mandarin zest on the nose. There's a beach pebble minerality texture to the palate along with a blood orange tang. Persistent zing and lift to the finish.
Great with clam linguine with a splash of Gardner Street Rosé in there, anything with prawns or a beef carpaccio.
