Clos Henri, Estate Sauvignon Blanc 2023

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 us to fine the wine only once before a light, non-sterile filtration. This extended lees contact also helps the wine to gain roundness and texture.

When the Bourgeois family decides to start from scratch, you can't say that they are doing things halfway! Not only did they set off for the exact opposite of the globe by settling in New Zealand, but they created Clos Henri from scratch by planting 98 hectares of vines! An extraordinary adventure which leads to quite simply stunning wines! Bravo, the challenge has been met in the best possible way
