The Awatere River Wine Co. is Louis Vavasour’s continuation of his family’s pioneering winegrowing work when they planted the first commercial quantities of vines in 1986. Louis’ wines primarily showcase the Awatere Valley and Marlborough with classical examples of each of his bottlings. Louis has Andrew Parley working with him in the winemaking role since the end of 2013. Andrew is an experienced winemaker joining the Awatere River Wine Co. following a 6 year stint overseas. Previous to that he worked for a similar amount of time with the team at Hunter’s Wines. My previous review for the Awatere River Wine Co. was in March, earlier this year, for the 2015 Pinot Noir (click here to see my review). This wine has been selling very quickly, and the 2016 Pinot Noir will soon be made available. Here is my review of the 2016 Pinot Noir. www.arwc.co.nz
