The 2022 Pyramid Valley Snake’s Tongue Pinot Noir is a beautifully perfumed and finely structured Central Otago Pinot Noir from organically farmed vineyards in Bendigo. Crafted with Pyramid Valley’s minimal-intervention philosophy, the wine balances dark fruit intensity with savoury complexity and mineral freshness, capturing the wild herbal character and depth of the site. The nose reveals black cherry, plum and wild strawberry layered alongside dried thyme, spice, violet and subtle earthy notes, giving the wine impressive lift and detail.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with silky tannins, vibrant natural acidity and beautifully pure dark berry fruit. Layers of cherry, blackberry and savoury spice are balanced by fine mineral tension and earthy complexity, finishing long, fresh and finely textured with excellent poise and elegance.
