The Pyramid Valley Story
The wines of Pyramid Valley are born in the dramatic soils of the Waikari Estate in North Canterbury, New Zealand. 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 their decision to plant either Chardonnay or Pinot Noir. These parcels have been named according to the dominant botanicals in the meadow from their beginnings as a vineyard in 2002. The Botanicals Collection represents the pinnacle of achievement for Pyramid Valley.
Today Pyramid Valley Winery is led By Steve Smith MW.
“We tend our estates according to the holistic principles of biodynamics, working with the energy of the cosmos and feeding the soils and ecosystem of the site to let nature work her wonders.”
