Top 100 & Blue Gold



Very exciting to hear that Clos Henri Sauvignon Blanc 2011 has just won Top 100 and Blue-Gold in the Sydney International Wine Competition 2013.

Sourced from our Greywacke riverbed on the sloping flats the 2011 vintage was the second year that we used no irrigation in the vineyard. This stressed the vines to just the right level in order to improve the structure and enable the roots to go deeper in the soil, thereby getting the purest expression of our terroir and showing more minerality from the stony soil.


The 2011 shows aromas of flower blossom,a mixture of tropical and citrus fruits and flinty notes.In the mouth the wine is complex minerality shining through on the back palate, has smooth elegant structure with good balance and length. The aging potential is 5-6years.
