Tasting Notes
A 100% Pinot Noir rose from the Waipara Springs vineyard in North Canterbury, farmed sustainably without artificial inputs. The fruit is whole bunch pressed and fermented with indigenous yeasts in a mix of concrete and seasoned oak. Aged on lees without sulphur for added texture, this is a more structured, vinous take on rose, with depth, freshness and serious drinkability. - Aaron C
Founded in 2000 in North Canterbury by Claudia and Mike Weersing, Pyramid Valley quickly became a benchmark for New Zealand’s artisanal and biodynamic wine movement. The estate is defined by its limestone-rich slopes, organically and biodynamically farmed to express the individuality of each vineyard block. In 2017, ownership passed to Steve Smith MW and Brian Sheth, who have preserved the original philosophy while expanding the range into other cool-climate regions including Marlborough and Central Otago.
Pyramid Valley’s approach is rooted in minimal intervention: hand harvesting, natural fermentations, low sulphur, and a focus on texture and purity. Alongside their home vineyards in North Canterbury—renowned for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay—they produce regional wines under the Botanical Collection and Pastures ranges, including skin-contact whites, rosés and varietal expressions that highlight New Zealand’s diversity.
The wines are recognised for their clarity, vibrancy and sense of place, uniting fine detail with natural energy. Pyramid Valley stands today as one of New Zealand’s most distinctive producers, embodying both innovation and deep respect for the land.
