Clos Henri "Petit Clos" Sauvignon Blanc

We find the "Clos Henri Sauvignon Blanc" to have a typical ripe Marlborough Sauvignon blanc nose of gooseberry and passionfruit. Fresh citrus aromas are present throughout the long palate that begins with intensity and hints at minerality as it lingers for a long mouth-filling Sancerre-like finish. This wine will open in the glass and is best with food. Expected to age well for at least 5 years.
Winemaking :Wines were fermented in stainless steel tanks until dry and kept on fine lees for over 10 months. Being one of the last- if not the last Marlborough Sauvignon producers to bottle, this patience allowed the wine to gain roundness and length.
