| | "You may think you know New Zealand wines but I can assure you that until you have tasted Pyramid Valley, you have no idea." Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Wine Advocate
Having searched New Zealand for their ideal plot of land to produce Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of the very highest quality. In 2000, Mike and Claudia Weersing purchased a farm in the most remote wine region of New Zealand simply known as ‘North Canterbury’. The clay-Limestone soils, along with the most hands-on, organic farming, lead to amazingly good, terroir expressive wines that should be enjoyed with no preconceived notions. ‘The vineyards have never seen herbicides, pesticides, systemic fungicides, or inorganic fertilizers. In the same fashion, no commercial yeasts or extraction enzymes are used, and the wines are bottled with no fining or filtration.’ Claudia is the biodynamic green-thumb and Mike is the Burgundian trained winemaker in this small-scale, hands-on operation. Together, they put out what could be some of New Zealand’s most delicious and unique wines! |
| | “The 2020 Field of Fire Chardonnay is flinty and spiced, layered with curry leaf, tobacco, brine, preserved citrus rind, and hints of crushed nuts. In the mouth, the wine is rich and undulating and saturating. The fruit is wrapped around a core of scintillating acidity — it really penetrates the palate and touches the soul. It plays a defibrillation role within the fruit. We all have different preferences in wine, but I am absolutely turned on by the fruit and acid interplay here. Thrilling. Detailed. Rich .... The wine spent 22 months in barrel and 4 months in tank prior to bottling. Due to wild ferments, it struggled to get through full malolactic fermentation. This is a wonderful thing, I feel. It's an exciting drink.”

| “The 2020 Pinot Noir Earth Smoke is a massively different wine from its stablemate Angel Flower, giving a more expansive wine that blossoms in the mouth without any sense of weight. There's elegance and sense of precision. And do you know what? It feels special .... with sandalwood, fennel, agave and white pepper characters in abundance alongside pure cherry fruit. The finish is fresh and precise.”
