The 2022 Pyramid Valley Springs Chardonnay is a beautifully poised and mineral-driven Chardonnay from organically farmed vineyards in North Canterbury. Crafted with Pyramid Valley’s minimal-intervention philosophy, the wine combines crystalline fruit purity with subtle savoury complexity and vibrant natural acidity. The nose reveals white peach, lemon zest and grapefruit layered alongside flinty reduction, oatmeal and delicate citrus blossom, giving the wine freshness, tension 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 saline freshness, subtle lees complexity and beautifully integrated oak, creating a wine that feels both energetic and finely detailed.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2022 Pyramid Valley Springs Chardonnay is a superb cool-climate Chardonnay — refined, mineral and beautifully balanced with excellent precision and depth. Perfect with grilled seafood, roast chicken, scallops, creamy risotto or soft white cheeses. Enjoy now through 2036+.
