  2022 North Canterbury Chardonnay, Pyramid Valley

  £3695

  Pyramid Valley, established by Mike and Claudia Weersing, is a boutique powerhouse in Waipara’s limestone-rich Omihi Hills. They harness old vine Mendoza clones (planted 1982–1990) on cool clay soils to craft site-specific Chardonnay known for its balance of finesse and depth.

  The wine presents a subtly hazy, lemon-gold hue. The nose reveals layered aromas of grilled nuts, citrus zest, delicate florals, and a faint hint of lemon rind. On the palate, mouth-watering acidity drives a laser-focused profile featuring vibrant citrus, toasted nut complexity, and a creamy mid-palate, all wrapped in a saline signature. This is a classic North Canterbury Chardonnay, fully ripe, texturally refined, and built for both early enjoyment and medium-term cellaring.

  2022 Lion’s Tooth Chardonnay, Pyramid Valley

  £9200

  Pyramid Valley, established by Mike and Claudia Weersing, is a boutique powerhouse in Waipara’s limestone-rich Omihi Hills. They harness old vine Mendoza clones (planted 1982–1990) on cool clay soils to craft site-specific Chardonnay known for its balance of finesse and depth.

  The 2022 Lion’s Tooth Chardonnay is a world-class wine and a benchmark New Zealand Chardonnay for lovers of site-expressive wines.

  In the glass, it opens with a bouquet of white blossom, lemon curd, and ripe stone fruit, underpinned by flinty reduction and hints of cashew and crushed seashells. The palate is taut and energetic, offering a seamless interplay between citrus, nectarine, and wet stone minerality. A silky, gently oxidative texture from wild ferment and extended lees ageing adds depth, while the wine’s brisk acidity and restrained oak frame the fruit with precision.

  Lion’s Tooth takes its name from the abundance of dandelions, often dismissed as weeds, that grow freely among the vines, a nod to the estate’s biodynamic ethos, where such plants are seen as vital contributors to soil health and ecological balance.
