Winery notes (2021 Vintage)
"Lying at the convergence between 3 distinct geological ages, Clos Henri has one of the most distinctive soil morphologies in the Marlborough Valley. Paying homage to these unique terroirs and revealing the true nature of these wines is the ultimate objective of the Bourgeois Family. Our Single Vineyard cuvées tell the story of the simplicity and elegance offered by the confluence of glacial and windswept terroirs.
Named for the Waimaungan Glaciation period that was instrumental in forging this unique terroir, this Sauvignon Blanc has an intense generosity on the palate which is followed by a textural, saline finish."
Rated Outstanding & 95/100 Cameron Douglas MS, March 2023 (2021 Vintage)
"Complex, dry, layered, new, taut. A wine of texture and mouthfeel with citrus and mineral, floral and a gentle fruit spice quality. A fabulous example, very young and needs time. Excellent food wine, lees work excellent."
93/100 David Walker Bell, WineFolio.co.nz, March 2023 (2021 Vintage)
"Still very coltish and youthful, brimming with energy and spark. Dry, with a subtle spice on the nose that sits over some intriguing notes of sweet tropical papaya, jasmine and mango, but also greener flavours of asparagus, mangetout and cucumber. The palate has a broad textural feel, offset by more of that signature minerality – a flinty, terracotta. The back of the palate has plenty of weight and some drying, pithy phenolics."
92/100 JamesSuckling.com (2021 Vintage)
"A vibrant and fresh style with ample lemon and lime citrus fruit, as well as zesty, tropical-fruit notes. The palate has a sleek, juicy feel with impressively rich and lithe appeal."
