Eradus, Pinot Noir, Awatere Valley, Marlborough, 2019

Buffeted by cool ocean winds above the Awatere River, the Eradus Breloft Vineyard is a textbook cool climate site. This fresh and juicy Pinot is light-bodied, with ripe, silky tannins and bright berry aromas – raspberry, strawberry and mulberry – that leap out of the glass. Attractive raspberry and black cherry fruit is supported by gentle oaking (nine months in French oak) producing a plush and pleasurable wine.
