Marlborough - Clos Henri - 'Otira' Sauvignon Blanc

Named after the Otiran Glaciation period that formed our Glacial River Stones terroir, 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.

"This is real sauvignon blanc with sliced lemons, dried mango and hints of white pineapple with some stone. It’s full and layered with a density and presence on the palate. Long and flavourful. Phenols hold it together. One of the best NZ sauvignons out there." 96 points, James Suckling, 2023

"Complex, dry, layered, new, taut. A wine of texture and mouthfeel with citrus and mineral, floral and a gentle fruit spice quality. A fabulous example, very young and needs time. Excellent food wine, lees work excellent." 95 points, Cam Douglas MS, 2023
