Lively, bright, and crisp are three common adjectives used to describe the Clos Henri Otira Sauvignon Blanc, which epitomizes the natural expression of Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand. Classic aromas of passion fruit, guava, pineapple, and pink grapefruit which are underscored by a fresh herbal element. Lush layers of sweet melon, tropical and yellow stone fruit flavors are complemented by an attractive minerality. 94 Points from The Wine Enthusiast & James Suckling, we don't know of another sub-$25 wine with these huge ratings. Named after the Otiran Glaciation period that formed their Glacial River Stones terroir, Clos Henri's Otira expresses a crisp minerality not unlike the glacier itself. Coupled with a sophisticated finesse that takes you on a journey of the senses, it's a Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc like no other.
"A vibrant light gold color, this complex Sauvignon, from one of Marlborough's top producers, is, frankly, a bargain for the quality. There's a thread of salty, flinty minerality that runs through white grapefruit, lime and passion fruit notes. A pithy, crunchy texture and a punch of citrus flavor lingers on the long finish. A classy drop. Editor's Choice." The Wine Enthusiast, 94 Points
"A clear and balanced sauvignon blanc with sliced spiced pears, apples and lemons and some flint on both the nose and palate. Medium-bodied with attractive citrus highlights to the aromas above." James Suckling, 94 Points
