Description

The Pyramid Valley North Canterbury Rose is predominantly Pinot Noir with a smidge of Pinot Gris, but it's all class and super drinkable.

Fruit was sourced from two sustainably farmed vineyards in Waipara, North Canterbury, planted in the early 1990s and 2004. Whole bunches were pressed into a range of French oak barrels and aged on their lees for six months, with no fining before bottling.

The Pyramid Valley North Canterbury Rose has everything you want in a rose: fresh characters of strawberry, red currants and florals, with some savouriness reminding you that this is completely dry. The tannins and acid are in perfect balance, and the mouthfeel is silky and glorious.

A rose to sip and savour.

Sustainably farmed, free of artifi­cial chemicals or fertilisers. Old-vine Pinot Noir, whole-bunch pressed, naturally fermented in seasoned oak. Beige peach colour, fresh wild strawberry, red currants, long silky aftertaste.

Pyramid Valley

In the year 2000, Mike and Claudia Elze Weersing found the patch of earth they'd been searching 15 years for.

With a background in winemaking from Burgundy and vintages of experience from some of Europe's finest cellars, Mike knew what he wanted in a vineyard site. With Claudia by his side, they set about planting a biodynamic Garden of Eden from the ground up.

They planted four blocks, half Pinot Noir, half Chardonnay, on the slopes of Pyramid Valley in the South Island.

In 2017 the baton was passed to friends Steve Smith (of Craggy Range renown) and Brian Sheth, who took over the ownership of Pyramid Valley, to further develop this extraordinary legacy. One of their first developments was to extend the Pyramid Valley range to a magnificent winery in Central Otago.

These are some of the most compelling and individual wines in all of New Zealand that have deservedly received much critical acclaim.
