Product notes

Combining the best nuances of Marlborough and our Sancerre heritage, this organic Pinot Noir is our flagship wine from the Clos Henri estate in Blenheim.

Production notes

This wine was fermented in stainless steel open top tanks and then aged in large (7,500 l) French Oak vats for 11 months. Ageing in large oak vats, instead of smaller barrels, gives the wine great balance with subtile oak which enriches structure while retaining aromatic intensité and brightness.

The finish is long lasting and satisfying, highlighted by a continuons smoky touch.

The palate is supple and fruity with al dente freshness and ripe—even juicy—tannins.

March 2024 (Vintage 2022)

A straightforward wine with dried flower, fresh strawberry and cherry character. Medium-bodied with a delicate finish. A light pinot for current drinking. Drink now. Screw cap.
