Reviews and Ratings

Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

A very refreshing Sauv Blanc from New Zealand's famous Marlborough region. Crisp herbal, grassy, tropical fruit & floral notes with canned asparagus. Good balance on a complex palate. Enjoy with Chicken Alfredo or shrimp salad.

Melanie Lloyd - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

A Sauvignon Blanc with mineral aromas as well as cantaloupe, peach, lychee, orange blossom, freshly cut grass, and a saline quality. On the palate, there are juicy peach and clementine flavours as well as lime. It contains a nice level of acidity. It is crisp, enjoyable, and has a long finish.

Tasted November 2017
From New Zealand's Awatere Valley, Eradus (2016) is a pale lemon-green Sauvignon Blanc with a nose of fresh-cut grass, light herbs and tropical notes on the palate. Quite savoury and finishes with a zesty acidity, and perfect for grilled seafood. This vintage was awarded Gold in the Sydney International Wine Competition, 2017. - Community Wine Reviews
