Henners Vintage 2018 opens with a luminous pale gold colour and an exceptionally fine mousse, immediately suggesting depth and precision. The nose is complex and inviting, combining baked apple, ripe pear and lemon curd with layers of toasted brioche, roasted nuts and a delicate hint of honey and chalky stone. On the palate it is concentrated yet beautifully poised, where creamy texture and autolytic richness are cut through by vibrant, citrus‑lined acidity. Flavours of apple tart, grilled peach, candied lemon and almond pastry unfold slowly, carried on a long, savoury, mineral‑driven finish that lingers with notes of toasted hazelnut and sea‑spray freshness, making each sip feel both indulgent and remarkably refined.
