Eradus Marlborough Pinot Gris 2024

Description

Apple, Dry, Spice

"It's delightfully fruited and elegantly fragrant with rockmelon, green pear and lemon zest aromas with a hint of ginger spice. The palate is equally attractive with lovely fruit purity combined with fleshy texture and juicy acidity, finishing long and refreshing. At its best: now to 2027" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jun 2024

"Ripe, fresh, vibrant and new, a bouquet of green pear and green apple, lots of white spice and sea-spray scents along with a touch of honeysuckle and wet stone. Crisp, dry, gently saline with flavours of crunchy apple and green pear, quince and citrus. There’s a fine savoury quality as well adding breath to the palate flavours. Acidity is a poignant feature and will settle in as the wine develops over the next 6 months" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier

"A crisp, dry Pinot Gris with balanced acidity, delicately expressed, closing with a touch of zest and a thirst quenching finish" Candice Chow, Wine Chat

Lifted floral and white peach notes leading to delicious flavours of red apple, pear, white peach with a hint of spice and that Awatere Valley flinty minerality. 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.

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.
