2023 Pyramid Valley Mānatu Chardonnay, Central Otago
Intriguing powdery soft lemon colour. Beautiful lemonwood floral notes alongside creamy mascarpone, pikelet and grilled lemon. Very composed symphony of white nectarine, Meyer lemon, grilled hazelnut finishing with salty electric acidity and a sense of rich crème fraiche. Composed and decadent, if a wine can indeed be that.
2022 Pyramid Valley Mānatu Pinot Noir, Central Otago
Bright ruby hue. Dark cherries, blackberries, cloves, alluring aromas that grow with more time in the glass. Soft silky texture that coates the mouth with very fine grained tannins. Dark savoury fruits and chalky acidity drives through the palate. A wine that unfolds with time and matches beautifully with New Zealand lamb.
