Eradus Pinot Noir “Single Vineyard” (By the Case)

Our vines grow on a slender terrace at the edge of the Awatere River, with a unique microclimate and soil structure. Influenced by a fault line, a river, and the power of the nearby Pacific Ocean, our land is stony, dry, windy and cool, elements that create wines of elegance and minerality with a lively and lingering finish. We let the untameable terroir of the Awatere Valley express itself through our vines, grapes and, ultimately, wines.

THE EXPERIENCE
Intensely perfumed with lifted savoury notes interlaced with dark cherries, plum and cracked pepper. The tannins are soft and silky, layered with plush, ripe red fruits. In essential Awatere fashion, the finish is lively, crisp and lingering. A delicious wine that brings together “new world” fruit and “old world” elegance and minerality.

FOOD MATCHING
Angus beef sliders, mushroom pizza, creamy blue cheese, and roast lamb.
