Pyramid Valley, Chardonnay, 2018

Canterbury for Chardonnay is like Marlborough is for Sauvignon Blanc.

This unique site of altitude, limestone, slope, rock and rich soil is the Waikari Estate and home to some of the most profound Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines in the world.

German-born and America-raised Claudia, was a committed biodynamicist and the guiding spirit on the land in the early years of Pyramid Valley. Mike studied oenology and viticulture in Burgundy and worked in vineyards and cellars across Europe, honing his precise vision and practice for spectacular winemaking.

Together, Mike and Claudia created remarkable wines for close to 20 years that have been recognised the world over.

This Chardonnay was born in the dramatic soils and slopes of the Waikari Estate in North Canterbury and was made following biodynamic principles to allow vineyards to express themselves.
