This spring, Clos Henri was thrilled to become the release site for Missy, a rare New Zealand Kārearea. Rarer than the Kiwi, these falcons are a special sight—but Missy is unique even among her own kind. After proving too aggressive and "feisty" for the breeding program at the Kārearea Falcon Trust, it was decided that Missy belonged in the wild. On October 6th, we partnered with the Trust to give this spirited falcon her freedom flight on our estate. Read the full story of her unusual journey from a failed dating life to wild independence.

Clos Henri Vineyard has been fully certified organic by the harvest of 2013, and we are also using biodynamic practices since 2012. In this article, we will explain the few preparations made on the estate and used in our composting.
