Eradus Sauvignon Blanc (3 Bottle Minimum)

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
Succulent fruit balanced by lovely, subtle and flinty minerality. This is a seductively powerful and moreish wine yet understated by its elegance. The nose is all about floral and nettle notes. 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
Chicken, mussels, creamy cheese, and fresh salads.
