Pyramid Valley North Canterbury Pinot Noir 2022 is a striking and terroir-driven wine from one of New Zealand’s benchmark vineyards. The blend primarily comes from the organically certified Course-Choi and Pyramid Valley vineyards, planted on clay and limestone soils. This vintage is lighter and more translucent compared to previous years, with aromas of star anise, fennel, clove, and orange peel. On the palate, it offers complex, textural layers of sour cherry, strawberry, fresh tobacco leaf, and creamy black tea, supported by fine, supple tannins, and a fresh, mineral-driven finish. Scored 92 points by Erin Larkin from The Wine Advocate, it’s elegant, balanced, and built for graceful aging. This Pinot Noir exemplifies North Canterbury’s wild, expressive character and dedication to biodynamic viticulture.
