A Legacy in Every Bottle:

The Hendred Vineyard, nestled amidst the rolling hills of Oxfordshire, boasts a rich history dating back over 50 years. Their commitment to meticulous grape growing and traditional winemaking techniques shines through in every bottle of Hendred Brut NV. Crafted using the time-tested méthode traditionnelle, the same process used for Champagne, this sparkling wine undergoes a secondary fermentation in the bottle, resulting in those delightful bubbles we all love.

Aromatic Delights:

Pour yourself a glass of Hendred Brut NV and be greeted by a vibrant bouquet of aromas. Zesty citrus notes mingle with hints of crisp green apple for a refreshingly clean first impression. As the wine opens up, delicate floral notes emerge, reminiscent of white blossom, adding a touch of elegance. Subtle hints of brioche, a buttery pastry character, complete the aromatic profile, hinting at the complexity to come.

A Symphony on the Palate:

The first sip of Hendred Brut NV is a burst of freshness. The lively acidity dances on the tongue, balanced beautifully by the natural sweetness of the grapes. Flavours of citrus and orchard fruits take centre stage, with hints of green apple adding a touch of tartness.
