Clos Henri Sauvignon Blanc 2024

Very Sancerre-like with subtle lemon rind, light white pepper and green melon. The palate is refined and polished with hints of orange blossoms at the end. Pretty acidity. Sophisticated sauvignon. Drink now. Screw cap.

The 2024 Sauvignon Blanc is ripe and concentrated on the nose, with persimmon and tangelo, lemon rind and green apple. In the mouth, the wine is possessed of an array of flavors, from salted nuts, almond meal, vanilla pod and caper brine right through to a cavalcade of citrus fruits and a suggestion of coriander/cilantro. This is eminently sophisticated, yet it delivers the Marlborough intensity and focus of acidity and fruit. It's excellent. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

The 2024 Sauvignon Blanc Estate is clean, crisp and dry. It is aromatically pared back, with subtle flavors of boxwood, lemon and apple on the balanced, stony finish, which offers tension and line. There's lots of good stuff here, I just want more intensity and it to last longer.
