Organic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir specialists, established by Famille Bourgeois.

08/10/2026

When we were established by the Bourgeois family in 2000, the philosophy of 'An Art, A Passion & A Tradition' was the guiding mantra. It is still intrinsic to the way we approach our craft of w**emaking, especially our appreciation of art in all its forms.

So, this summer, we’re delighted to welcome a rotating selection of talented local Marlborough artists to our Tasting Room.

We are absolutely thrilled to begin with the incredible mother-and-daughter duo of &
for the first in a series of exhibitions celebrating creativity, connection and our shared sense of place.

Bringing together two generations and two distinctive artistic perspectives, their work has already transformed our Cellar Door into a space where w**e and art enjoy pride of place. We invite you to come and enjoy Caroline's 'The 12' and Gloria's amazing jewelry throughout October & November.

Visit us throughout the summer months to explore the exhibition, enjoy a tasting and experience Clos Henri through a different lens.

🌿 We hope you're ready for our new immersive vineyard experience at Clos Henri!

We're so excited to launch our Living Landscape - a tour focusing on the biodiversity at Clos Henri, where you can step beyond the cellar door and discover more about our w**es.

Hosted by our Sustainability Manager, Jon, this 1.5-hour journey takes you through our working organic vineyard, native restoration areas and the soils that shape our Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir.

You’ll explore how organic viticulture supports a thriving vineyard ecosystem, taste a guided selection of Clos Henri w**es—and plant a New Zealand native of your own, becoming part of our continuing restoration story.

Since 2019, more than 12,000 native plants have taken root across the Clos Henri estate, helping to restore bush and wetland habitats for native birds, insects and beneficial wildlife. Now, you have the chance to add to that legacy.

Frost chat ⬇❄

Spring time is always a period marked by apprehension for frosts - many years we escape without them but in some years; you'll find us at the vineyard at 3am in the morning; protecting the emerging buds from the settling ice.

We rely on frost fans to do much of the heavy lifting, they help to mix the inversion layer which prevents the frost from settling, but occasionally we need to give them a little helping hand with the aide of fire.

Today, both were needed. Marlborough found itself in the icy grip of a frost - so Damien and Paolo leapt into action to make sure that our baby buds were protected.

Happy Organic W**e Week! 🌿✨

We're joining **egrowersnz to celebrate everything organic this week - especially the reasons why!

In a world where efficiencies win, we've chosen the less efficient route.
This journey sees more grind in the vineyard, a little less yield and takes more planning - but the result are w**es that express the love & passion that goes into making them, and are just plain delicious.

Follow along this week to discover why we love **es... and don't forget to drink organic this week!

Its Pinot Noir Day ✨

We love any reason to slow down, gather some friends together and open a bottle so wherever this finds you, we hope you can take this moment to celebrate this wonderful variety!

For us, Pinot Noir is one of the greatest translators of terroir.

Terroir is more than soil. It encompasses the contours of the land, the character of the season and the hands that guide each w**e from vineyard to bottle.

In the cellar, we can shape the details—the time spent on skins, the inclusion of whole bunches and the influence of oak—but the soul of Pinot Noir is ultimately defined by the vineyard and the vintage.

Our 2024 season, affectionately known as the “Golden Child”, brought warm, dry conditions and a long, serene harvest. Full phenological ripeness allowed the windblown clay soils of Waimaunga to shine, producing Pinot Noirs of remarkable elegance, florality and restrained intensity.

Our task was simply to preserve what the season had given us. Through a shorter time on skins and judicious use of new oak, we allowed nature to take the leading role.

With the intensity of 2013 and the elegance of 2012, the 2024 vintage might just offer the best of both worlds—beautifully expressive now, with the structure to evolve gracefully over time.

This Pinot Noir Day, open a bottle of Clos Henri and celebrate with us. It brings us great joy to know these w**es are being shared in every corner of the world. 🍷

Did you know grapevines can choose between climbing and reproducing? 🍇

Back in 1865, Charles Darwin described how grapevines produce either tendrils for climbing or flower clusters for fruit, depending on what the plant needs most. These remarkable structures first evolved around 60 million years ago, helping vines scramble through ancient forests in search of sunlight.

For us, these incredibly strong tendrils often remain on the trellis for many years - just talk to one of our team responsible for stripping last year's canes out of the rows - it's tough work to pull them off the wire!

Our vineyard is situated at the confluence of two ancient glaciation periods, one of which formed the Southern Valleys subregion of Marlborough. Back in 2004, the Bourgeois decided to plant a parcel of Pinot Noir at the top of one of these Southern Valley windblown loess ridges - audacious for the time, when may vitis were focusing their attention on the flatter, easier to manage Wairau Valley.

It's been a labour of love, but in 20 years on, in these same parcels, we're starting to see the culmination of our efforts. & recently rated our Waimaunga Pinot Noir 2024, giving it a delicious 94 points:

'A stunning Marlborough pinot offering remarkable value at the price, this is the most powerful expression of pinot noir yet from Clos Henri’s hillside vineyard on the Delta hill formation abutting the Southern Valleys.
Organically certified and dry farmed, the vines delivered extreme concentration and low yields in the very dry El Niño season of 2024.
The resulting w**e had 10-20% whole bunch inclusion, was wild-fermented in large oak vats with gentle pump overs and three weeks of post-ferment maceration. It then aged entirely in French oak barrels (20% new).
A dark and seriously ripe, brooding pinot with concentrated violet, blackberry, cherry and coffee flavours, built for ageing. Mouth-coating but fine tannin encases the very persistent black fruit as it flows across the expanding finish of earth, graphite and peppery spice.
This will need another year or two of cellaring to move past its youthful firmness but can easily develop over the coming decade or more. (Diam)'

After the rush of a busy harvest, winter's arrival in the w**ery looks a lot different - calm, cool days mean our team are tucked inside barreling down our Pinot Noir. Here, it'll stay safely ageing for the next 12 months in oak.
A quietly rewarding task which we look forward to every year...
