Collette studied Viticulture & Oenology at the UK’s prestigious Plumpton College and then worked in wineries in New Zealand, California and South Africa to hone her winemaking skills. When she joined Henners, Collette could immediately see the potential in Sussex for growing extraordinary winemaking grapes, particularly where the Henners hectares are nestled in the South Downs.
Why winemaking?
I came into the industry because I was a wine consumer. I just want to make wine that I want to sit and drink, and that puts a smile on people’s faces.
