Pyramid Valley - This unique site of altitude, limestone, slope, rock and rich soil is our Waikari Estate and home to some of the most profound Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines in the world. In 2018 our story breathed a new chapter when we purchased a new vineyard, the Manata Estate in Lowburn, Central Otago. The vineyard has produced exceptional Pinot Noir since 2002 and is home to our Central Otago Pinot Noir. Across both sites biodynamic viticulture and a natural approach to winemaking create handcrafted wine that breathes of its place and tastes like nowhere else on earth.

The 'Appellation Collection' is Pyramid Valley's view of the three great South Island appellations of New Zealand - North Canterbury, Central Otago and Marlborough. Working with exceptional growers, the Appellation Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc share the same sense of somewhereness as the wines from Pyramid Valley's very own estate.

This wine, from Central Otago pours a bright crimson hue. Alluring, lifted aromas of thyme and red cherries with an underlying spicy complexity exploding from the glass. The wines soft silky texture and fine-grained tannins surround bright red fruits and crunchy acidity which gives it freshness and length.
