Country: New Zealand / Petit Clos
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough
Winery: Clos Henri /
A French-owned outpost in the South Pacific, Clos Henri seems to be finally coming of age. This entry-level offering delivers a hint of smoky, fumé character, but also plenty of ripe fruit, ranging from fig, melon and stone fruit to zestier notes of passion fruit. It’s reasonably full-bodied, with an attractive, silky mouthfeel and a touch of gingery spice on the finish.
