2023 Hiyu Wine Farm Tzum Eriu Columbia Valley, USA

Nate on this wine: Eriu is a one-acre field on the eastern side of the site we farm in the desert on the banks of the Columbia. The soil in this part of the site has a higher percentage of cobble vs. sand than the parcels to the west of it, and all of these factors conspire to produce a more high pitched and ethereal rendition of Grenache than the more dense wines that emerge from Aines amphitheater of deep sand. Just as the Fionn above, it belongs to owners of Irish origin, hence its name after the mother goddess of Ireland.
