CLOS HENRI Petit Clos Sauvignon Blanc 75cl

Lime, grapefruit and kiwi aromas, rounded and well-balanced, with a rich, dense and juicy mouthfeel and pleasant minerality.

Clos Henri uses natural methods from the vineyard to the winery, practices dry farming and is a proud member of MANA: Marlborough Natural Winegrowers. The estate has been fully certified organic by the harvest of 2013.

The entire vineyard is high densely planted, forcing the vines to compete with one another, resulting in highly concentrated grapes. The wine was fermented in stainless steel tanks to retain fruit purity and flavour, it was then aged on fine yeast lees for three months. Lees stirring over this time allows the wine to stabilise naturally, enabling them to fine the wine only once before a light, non-sterile filtration. This extended lee contact also helps the wine to gain roundness and texture.
