Marlborough blanc

Clos Henri “Clay”

Vins Clos Henri « Clay »

An intense and complex bouquet of honey, peach and apricot compote layered with a floral magnolia and toasty notes. The velvety and rich yet balanced palate has fresh citrus and soft saline notes, with a generous finish that leaves you wanting more.

Scallops with lime and ginger

Wild fermentation occurred in 600L Austrian oak barrel. 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 vineyard have incorporated high density planting to encourage competition between vines and restrain vigour. This natural vigourcontrol 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 clay soil.
