Angel Flower is a cooler, more exposed block than Earth Smoke. The shallow soils and north-facing aspect here result in a more floral and aromatic wine, although the weight and shape of the palate have much in common with Pyramid’s other single-site Pinot. Following Mike Weersing’s vineyard blueprints, the new team recently planted a little Chardonnay on these soils, recognising its potential also as a great white wine terroir. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAngel flower is the prettiest of many synonyms for yarrow, a grassland and pasture plant with delicate, fennel-like leaves and a brilliant mass of white flowers. Yarrow is the basis of the biodynamic preparation 502, and is strongly associated with mobilising natural sulphur and potassium in the soil. The winemaking for both wines is almost identical: picked by hand and partially crushed by foot, the wine fermented with its vineyard yeasts and was primarily raised in old French oak (just 10% new). It was bottled unfined and unfiltered. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn release, Weersing wrote, “One could hardly ask for a more invigorating, seductive, and briskly legitimate example of this wine.” Today, the ’16 Angel Flower is in its sweet spot. The aromas are alluring and wide open, laden with spices and secondary complexity. At the same time, the texture has resolved to velvety smoothness, carried by still-vibrant acidity—you can feel the freshness of this site. We love how the developing balsamic, hoisin and Asian spice notes cascade around the wine’s savoury elements and seam of fresh red fruit. It’s poised and elegant, and it is drinking beautifully.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pyramid Valley","offers":[{"title":"1 Bottle","offer_id":41025512177773,"sku":"BIB25553-750","price":173.93,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 Bottle Case","offer_id":41435381792877,"sku":"BIB25553-750-6","price":991.39,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1421\/5622\/files\/3fdef52b-19fc-ec11-ab3d-024d026f405e_20369-750.jpg?v=1706546634"},{"product_id":"pyramid-valley-central-otago-manata-pinot-noir-2021","title":"Pyramid Valley Central Otago Manata Pinot Noir 2021","description":"\u003cp\u003eBright crimson hue.

Fruit from both sites is pressed as bunches before the juice ferments in tulip-shaped concrete vats and a few old barrels. This year, 8% skin fermentation and malolactic conversion naturally balance the Sauvignon’s piercing acidity while supporting its innate vibrancy. It’s a cracking release with a pulpy, multi-layered palate enlivened by mouth-watering acidity and tension. In many ways, it is the antithesis of what you might expect from a New Zealand savvy.

Like the Chardonnay vineyards, Pyramid Valley’s Waikari Pinot Noir sites were planted in 2000 at 11,111 vines per hectare on slopes with clay\/limestone soils. Earth Smoke is an expansive slope that faces east and is situated southwest of Lion’s Tooth and north of its sibling Pinot Noir site, Angel Flower. The soils are richer than Angel Flower, described by Steve Smith as “strong and beautifully structured”―there’s a high proportion of clay (30%) over the limestone bedrock. The name comes from the nickname given to fumitory, a plant of the poppy family that thrives in this 0.85-hectare plot. Although both wines share DNA, the later-picked Earth Smoke is typically the more structured and darker of the two, with more fruit weight and savoury undertones to go with its tender, fine tannins. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe fruit was picked and sorted by hand, then destemmed and fermented gently using infusion rather than extraction techniques.

Pyramid’s vines respond by harnessing all this energy to ripen grapes that are full of the delicate aromas, beautiful flavours and refined phenolics that are the benchmark for fine, cool-climate Pinot Noir (and often lost in warmer, more stressful climates). The 2022 Earth Smoke is resplendent with this energy and the unique stamp of its part of the Waikari vineyard.
