Eradus Marlborough Pinot Gris 2024

93 POINTS: Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
93 POINTS: James Suckling

"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

"This Pinot Gris opens with aromas of ripe peaches, white flowers and a hint of lemons. The palate is medium to full-bodied and dry, yet generously layered with peach flavours that carry through to a satisfying finish. A joy to taste."
 - James Suckling

Eradus are not a one trick pony! Yes, they do make an outstanding Sauvignon Blanc but they do a lovely Pinot Gris too. The vines are now 16 years old and deliver a wine with great concentration and a real juiciness in a fresh and dry style with a portion barrel aged to add textural richness. Serious wine for under $20! 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.
