Clos Henri is the New Zealand project of renowned French winemaker Henri Bourgeois. This is a lightly oaked, minerally Sauvignon Blanc emulates Sancerre better than most NZ Sauv Blanc.
Hundred-year-old vines planted in a pre-phylloxera cru, the grapes are fermented and matured five years in chesnut and acacia casks. In that time, the wine isn't topped up, thereby developing a veil of yeast. The result is a wine of depth and delicacy.
Prosecco made in the old method with a second fermentation in the bottle and the yeasts left unfiltered. Give it a little shake to add a toasty flavour to the lightly bubbly Prosecco.
Richer and creamier style, single vineyard Pinot Grigio with Demeter biodynamic certification. 10 Months on lees in French oak barrels, mainly apple/pear flavours with subtle vanilla from the oak and a gentle lychee note.
