Our Take on Henkell Trocken
At DubaiBottles, we believe that some wines are more than just drinks — they are living pieces of history. Henkell Trocken is a true testament to that belief. This is the classic German Sekt that has been synonymous with quality, tradition, and celebration for over 150 years.
It all began in 1832 when Adam Henkell established himself as a wine merchant in Mainz. He discovered the art of Champagne-making in France. In 1856, he began producing his own outstanding sparkling wine. This laid the foundation for a remarkable success story. The brand “Henkell Trocken” was patented in 1894. It became one of the first legally protected brand names in Germany.
Today, Henkell Trocken remains the embodiment of German Sekt artistry. It’s a dry, fully matured sparkling wine of unmistakable character. It brings a touch of elegance to any occasion.

Serving Tips from Our Cellar
Henkell Trocken is best enjoyed well-chilled — ideally served at a temperature of 6–8°C. Store it in the fridge for a few hours before serving. Serve it in a flute or tulip glass to appreciate its fine bubbles and elegant aromas. If you’re ordering delivery in Dubai, we recommend chilling it as soon as it arrives for the perfect serving temperature.
The Story Behind Henkell Trocken
The story of Henkell Trocken begins in 1832. Adam Henkell established himself as a wine merchant in the historic city of Mainz. Inspired by the fine art of Champagne-making he discovered in France, he began producing his own sparkling wine in 1856.
However, it was his grandson, Otto Henkell, who truly revolutionised the brand. In the late 19th century, he made the breakthrough onto national and international markets. He created the brand name “Henkell Trocken”. The brand was officially patented in 1894. In 1898, it became one of the first legally protected trademarks in Germany. Otto Henkell also launched the first advertising campaigns for the new sparkling wine brand.
Today, Henkell Trocken is produced by Henkell Freixenet, based in Wiesbaden. It remains a symbol of German quality and tradition. It’s a Sekt that has been at the heart of celebrations for generations — a true icon of German craftsmanship. Discover more on the official Henkell website.
