The 2023 Pyramid Valley North Canterbury Pinot Noir is a vibrant expression of North Canterbury Pinot Noir, produced from sustainably farmed vineyards that reflect the region's cool climate and limestone-rich soils. The nose is fragrant and layered, offering aromas of wild raspberry, red cherry and summer berries, complemented by savoury herbs, forest floor, delicate floral notes and subtle spice.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with fine, chalky tannins and bright natural acidity. Flavours of red berries, black cherry and gentle mocha are balanced by earthy, savoury nuances and a mineral backbone, leading to a long, fresh and finely structured finish. The wine is youthful and precise, with excellent purity and balance that reflect Pyramid Valley's thoughtful, low-intervention winemaking.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers who enjoy elegant, cool-climate Pinot Noir with freshness and savoury complexity. It pairs beautifully with roast duck, grilled lamb, mushroom dishes or roasted vegetables. Enjoy it now with a light decant, or cellar for 8–10 years to allow additional complexity and texture to develop.
