Eradus Pinot Noir 2017
The Eradus Pinot Noir is sourced from 18 year old vines grown on a slender terrace at the edge of the Awatere River in the Marlborough region of New Zealand. Influenced by a fault line, a river, and the power of the nearby Pacific Ocean, this land is stony and dry, windy and cool, creating wines of great elegance, minerality and crisp clean acidity.
Aged for 9 months in oak this Pinot Noir is 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, with a smooth elegant finish.
