| Tasting notes |
| The Clos Henri Sauvignon Blanc has a typical ripe Marlborough Sauvignon blanc nose of gooseberry and passionfruit. Fresh citrus aromas are present throughout the long palate that begins with intensity and hints at minerality as it lingers for a long mouth-filling Sancerre-like finish. This wine will open in the glass and is best with food. |
| Wine maker notes |
| Wines were fermented in stainless steel tanks until dry and kept on fine lees for over 10 months. Being one of the last- if not the last Marlborough Sauvignon producers to bottle, this patience allowed the wine to gain roundness and length. |

| Clos Henri is the exciting new vineyard development in Marlborough, New Zealand begun by
the internationally recognised winemaking family of Henri Bourgeois of Sancerre, France.
For ten generations the family has crafted premium quality Sauvignon blanc and Pinot noir wines and
in 2000 chose 109 hectares of native Marlborough pastures to continue their passion abroad.
The first Clos Henri wines have been made in 2003 and
subsequent vintages benefit from being made on the Clos Henri terroir. |
