2020 Pyramid Valley North Canterbury Chardonnay

A blend of two vineyards in North Canterbury, Waipara Springs which are old vines planted between 1982-1986 on Omihi clay soils and Three Sisters Vineyard which was planted between 2001-2004 on Rangitata gravels. Fermented in old barrels for 12 months before settling in stainless steel tank on light lees for a further 4 months before bottling unfined and unfiltered.

“It opens with powerful, savoury Burgundian aromas, framed by appealing smoky reduction. It’s equally complex on the palate where measured power meets crystalline acidity and punchy ripe fruit flavour.” - Supplier notes, Bibendum
