ERADUS Single Vineyard Late Harvest Sticky Mickey 2017 (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, 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
One of the most fun wines we have ever made, it never fails to please with it juicy passionfruit, fresh honey and orange notes. It is a sweet wine, but the presence of punchy minerality and acidity balances the palate beautifully. 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.
