The 2022 Pyramid Valley North Canterbury Chardonnay is a beautifully refined and mineral-driven Chardonnay from organically farmed vineyards in North Canterbury. Crafted with Pyramid Valley’s minimal-intervention philosophy, the wine balances crystalline fruit purity with savoury complexity and vibrant natural acidity. The nose reveals white peach, lemon curd and grapefruit layered alongside flinty reduction, oatmeal and delicate citrus blossom, giving the wine impressive freshness and finesse.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with silky texture, bright acidity and a long mineral finish. Layers of citrus and stone fruit are balanced by subtle lees complexity, saline tension and beautifully integrated oak, creating a wine that feels both energetic and finely detailed.
