Eradus Wines

In 1982, Har and Sophie Eradus moved from Holland to Auckland, New Zealand. After two decades in the flower industry, they sought a semi-retirement project and discovered a vineyard in the Awatere Valley, Marlborough—now celebrated for its exceptional Sauvignon Blanc. Launching their first wine, Eradus Sauvignon Blanc 2002, they quickly realized winemaking was far from semi-retirement. By 2004, their children, Hanna and Michiel, took over the winery, continuing the family legacy.

The Awatere Valley's rugged beauty and extreme climate shape Eradus wines. Grown on free-draining riverbed soils, the vines thrive under warm days and cool nights, influenced by mountains and the sea. The result is vibrant, fruit-driven wines with crisp acidity and a distinct minerality, embodying the essence of this unique terroir.
