The Botanicals Collection represents the pinnacle of our achievements at Pyramid Valley.
Their story is rooted in the foundations of our Waikari farm in North Canterbury. The initial plantings were arranged by Mike and Claudia Weersing according to specific minute changes in soil composition between the unique limestone and clay particles. These changes reflected the decision to plant either Chardonnay or Pinot Noir. Interestingly, the meadow growing in each parcel was also different, with different species of meadow plants being present. These parcels have been named according to the dominant botanicals in the meadow from their beginnings as a vineyard in 2000, and have always been vinted as highly individual wines. Each wine is named after the common colloquial name of the meadow plant dominant in its respective vineyard block and each wears a wonderful piece of Patricia Curtan botanical art reflecting this plant.
