Pyramid Valley Vineyards Lion's Tooth Canterbury Chardonnay 2016

Tasting: South Island - July/Aug 2019

Region: Canterbury

Year: 2016

Price: $125.00

Review/Comments
From an east-facing slope at Waikari, in North Canterbury, this powerful wine was fermented in a 50/50 split of clay amphorae and old French oak barrels, and bottled unfined and unfiltered. Bright, light yellow/green, it is weighty and tautly structured, with deep, youthful, stonefruit flavours, a slightly minerally streak, well-integrated oak, and a long, harmonious finish. Still unfolding, it should be at its best mid-2020+. $125
