Pyramid Valley North Canterbury Chardonnay 2022

Cameron Douglas MS writes "A fascinating bouquet driven first by a sense of place with its core of chalky textures, shape and form, then scents of grapefruit and apple, complex lees layers and wild flowers. Natural ferment flavours deliver texture and continue the sense of place themes, citrus and apple, some peach and textures from lees all combine to deliver a wine of intrigue, flavour and intensity. Delicous, fresh and new, a wine to explore and enjoy."

Bob Campbell MW writes "Intense and appealing chardonnay with white peach, fresh herbs, citrus/lemon curd and a subtle green apple flavour. Deliciously textural wine with a silken and ethereal influence together with a contrasting juicy acidity."

Sam Kim, Wine Orbit writes "A gorgeous expression; the complex bouquet shows apricot, rockmelon, lemon peel, almond meal and savoury pastry aromas. It's impressively concentrated and plush in the mouth, delivering multi-layered mouthfeel and awesome depth, wonderfully framed by finely pitched acidity."
