Pinot Noir Clos Henri 2017 Marlborough - New Zealand Red G01

Nestled in the southern foothills of Marlborough’s Wairau Valley, Clos Henri is a wine estate meticulously established and organically run by the famous Sancerre wine-growing family of Henri Bourgeois. Gathering 10 generations of know-how with Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir, the family has broadened their horizons and continues to craft exceptional terroir-driven wines in New Zealand. From the three different soil types of the estate, partially comprised of a hill slope, the family uses the best of French and New World winegrowing techniques to capture the essence of Marlborough’s intense character and reveal the identity of the Clos Henri terroir.

Pale ruby color and slowly evolving nose of warm cranberries, mulberries and kirsch with underlying notes of black earth, truffles and mossy bark. It packs a lot of red berries and earth flavor layers into an elegant, medium-bodied palate, with firm chewy tannins and a refreshing acid line to support, finishing with lingering savory notes.
