"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.
Dancing a fine line of purity and boldness, Waimaunga Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is a result of the natural forces that helped it come to be. Layers of weathered, windblown clays are reflected through swirls of salinity and ripe citrus, giving rise to a generous yet refined organic wine."
94/100 Erin Larkin, RobertParker.com, Wine Advocate, June 2025 (2023 Vintage)
"The 2023 Waimaunga Sauvignon Blanc is grown on the windblown clays, right next to the glacial stones—the two vineyard blocks of the same wider vineyard are separated by the fault line that runs through the ground. The vines are so close together, yet the wines are so distinct. Here, the power of the clay has produced a wine that is infinitely more fruit driven than the mineral Otira taste alongside it. As a pair, they illustrate so clearly the difference in soil and the impact of it on the final wine. Usually, the vines on the stones ripen earlier than those on the clays; however, this 2025 vintage is potentially seeing a situation in the reverse. This wine has lemon flesh and coriander, green apple, wet chalk and concrete. It is far more rounded in shape than the Otira, but both wines offer different experiences."

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."
