In 1832, Adam Henkell (1801-66) established himself as a wine merchant in Mainz, thus laying the cornerstone of today's company, Henkell & Söhnlein

Today Henkell & Co is Germany's largest and most modern sparkling wine cellar
Today Henkell & Co is Germany's largest and most modern sparkling wine cellar, as well as one of the world's most renowned producers of sparkling wine. Of the Henkell Trocken brand alone, the largest exported sparkling brand, more than 20 million 0.75 l bottles are sold world-wide per year. According to a 1997 study by the research organisation Emnid, Henkell is Germany's best-known and most popular sparkling wine.

Dosage Zero

Dosage Zero is made of the same high-quality matured wines, composed and produced for our classic Henkell Trocken. The difference lies in the dosage: It is not dosaged at all, hence is made without any addition of sugar after fermentation.

Tasting: the colour is light yellow with green reflexes and with fine pearls, long lasting. At nose: fresh, fruity, aromatic, spicy. At palate is fresh, harmonious, of substance, gentle body, long lasting aftertaste
