Description

Slightly hazy, lemon golden hue. Complex aromas of grilled nuts, citrus fruits, florals and a hint of lemon rind. Mouth-watering acidity drives the wine with laser focus, flavours of citrus fruits, toasted nuts and a creamy texture gives the wine body and weight. A classic North Canterbury Chardonnay that is fully ripe and saline.

Pyramid Valley Vineyard

Mike and Claudia Elze Weersing spent 15 years searching the world to find the perfect place to grow grapes. In 2000, they purchased the plot of land near Waikari, that they now call home.

German-born and America-raised Claudia, was a committed biodynamicist and the guiding spirit on the land in the early years of Pyramid Valley. Mike studied oenology and viticulture in Burgundy and worked in vineyards and cellars across Europe, honing his precise vision and practice for spectacular winemaking.

Together, Mike and Claudia created remarkable wines for close to 20 years that have been recognised the world over.

Waipara Valley

Waipara Valley, located on New Zealand's South Island, is a prominent and growing wine region known for its distinctive and high-quality offerings. The area benefits from a cool, dry climate with ample sunshine and diverse soils, which contribute to its unique terroirs. Waipara Valley is particularly renowned for its aromatic whites, such as Riesling and Pinot Gris, which feature vibrant acidity and expressive fruit profiles. It also produces notable reds, including Pinot Noir and Syrah, known for their elegant structure, rich flavours, and complex aromas. Combining traditional winemaking techniques with modern innovations, it provides a compelling and evolving wine experience.
