2024 Clos Henri Sauvignon Blanc Estate BIO

Very tasty, rich Sauvignon Blanc from the New Zealand winery Clos Henri, a special project in Marlborough started by the famous Bourgeois wine family from Sancerre, France.

This white Sauvignon Blanc Organic 'Estate' is a pleasant wine with fine hints of citrus fruits and yellow kiwi. In taste the wine is fresh, balanced and round. Very tasty, nicely dry, lively with pleasant fine acids and yet also a kind of mildness and richness. The flavor palette is caressed by a rich, juicy mouthfeel, dominated by exotic fruit, with a pleasant mineral tone. This Sauvignon Blanc is intensely fragrant, nicely open and stimulating, even exotic with pineapple and gooseberries. The color is light straw yellow with a beautiful green hint. The wine has a powerful aftertaste. This wine replaces the Petit Clos Sauvignon Blanc.

The wine is very good as an aperitif, and is also delicious with a terrine of fish with vegetables, salads (for example with goat's cheese), and warm vegetable pie.

In the French tradition, the entire vineyard is planted in high density. This forces the vines to compete with each other, resulting in highly concentrated grapes and more mineral flavours in the wine. Petit Clos wines come from younger vines that grow on different soil types. The younger Sauvignon vines are located on 3 different soil types. This wine is certified organic. The grapes come from young vines with an average age between 8 and 13 years old. The climate in the Wairau Valley is maritime with warm, sunny days and cool nights. This variation ensures that the grapes retain their crisp freshness. The vines are close together, so that they compete with each other for water and nutrients. This competition results in a higher flavour concentration. The wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks to retain the fresh character. The wine is then matured on the lees for three months to make the wine a little rounder.
