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.

Winemaker Notes

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.

Serve with Fresh oysters, pan-fried snapper and asparagus.
