Clos Henri “Stones”
Rich, autumn aromas of quince paste, ripe stone fruits and candied figs develop on the nose. A robust wine with plenty of flavour, light oak notes of ginger and nuts show through on the palate. The flinty mineralityprovides a textural and focused finish.
Crayfish or pan fried snapper.
Wild fermentation occurred in 600L Austrian oak barrels. The wine was then aged on fine yeast lees for 20 months with lees stirring, both of which enable us to obtain a round Sauvignon Blanc with body and mouthfeel. This fine wine is unfiltered with minimum handling.
Winegrowing & Terroir
Stemming from our French Heritage, our vineyards have incorporated high density planting to encourage competition between vines and restrain vigour. This natural vigour control means that the vines put more energy into the grapes, rather than the canopy, concentrating on the berries. Vigourcontrol is also applied through dry farming (no irrigation). Through stressing the vines to just the right level, it forces the roots to go deeper into the soil, resulting in the purest expression of our terroir and displaying more mineralityfrom the river stone soil.
