Varietal Composition:<\/strong> 100% Sauvignon Blanc<\/p>\nElaboration:<\/strong> The wine was fermented in stainless steel tanks to retain fruit purity and flavor; it was then aged on fine yeast lees for three months. Lees stirring over this time allows the wine to stabilize naturally, enabling us to fine the wine only once before a light, non-sterile filtration. This extended lees contact also helps the wine to gain roundness and texture.<\/p>\nTasting Notes: <\/strong>Bright and inviting, the Estate Sauvignon Blanc has notes of ripe citrus, orange blossom and white peach. Juicy, with rich ripe stone fruits, the palate offers a refreshing acidity with satisfying weight and length. A wine showing excellent purity of place, there is a lingering mineral finish.<\/p>\nPRESS<\/strong><\/h3>\n2019 – 95 James Suckling | 92 Wine Enthusiast<\/p>\n

PRODUCER BACKGROUND<\/strong><\/h3>\nNestled under the southern foothills of Marlborough\u2019s Wairau Valley, Clos Henri is the wine estate meticulously established and organically run by the famous Sancerre wine growing family of Henri Bourgeois. From the three different soil types of the estate, the family uses the best of French and New World winegrowing techniques to capture the essence of Marlborough\u2019s intense character and reveal the identity and depth of the Clos Henri terroir. Textural and elegant, these wines are quite a bit different from the New Zealand \u201cnorm.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>
