The 2023 Pyramid Valley North Canterbury Orange is a vibrant and beautifully textural skin-contact white crafted from organically farmed vineyards in North Canterbury. Made with Pyramid Valley’s minimal-intervention philosophy, the wine balances aromatic intensity with savoury complexity and refreshing structure. The nose reveals orange peel, apricot and ripe pear layered alongside jasmine, dried herbs, ginger spice and subtle earthy notes, giving the wine plenty of character and lift.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with gentle tannic grip, bright natural acidity and layered stone fruit flavours. Notes of citrus peel, tea-like phenolics and savoury spice are balanced by fresh mineral tension and a long, dry finish, creating a wine that feels both energetic and textural.

The 2023 Pyramid Valley North Canterbury Orange is a beautifully expressive skin-contact white — savoury, aromatic and highly food friendly with excellent balance and freshness.
