Pyramid Valley Pinot Noir Angel Flower 2020

Pyramid Valley Pinot Noir Angel Flower 2020 is a beautifully refined and expressive New Zealand Pinot Noir, offering a more delicate, feminine style within the estate’s range. Grown biodynamically in Canterbury and crafted with a meticulous, hands-off approach, it reflects both the purity of the site and Pyramid Valley’s reputation for world-class, terroir-driven wines.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Angel Flower shows a graceful, lightly translucent ruby hue, with a brightness that hints at its fresh and elegant profile. The nose is lifted and complex, unfolding with red cherries, raspberries, blood orange, lavender, forest floor and a subtle clove-like spice, alongside herbal nuances and a faint floral edge. The palate is silky and vibrant, driven by red fruit in a supple, dancing style rather than sheer power. Fine tannins give shape without weight, while the wine’s freshness and aromatic length add real finesse. This is a Pinot Noir with the balance and complexity to develop beautifully over time, and it should age gracefully for several years.

Production
Angel Flower comes from a site planted in 2000 in Canterbury, where limestone-rich clay soils provide the ideal foundation for a finely detailed Pinot Noir. The vineyard is farmed biodynamically, with close attention paid to working in harmony with nature and preserving the character of the land. Fruit is hand-sorted and fully de-stemmed before fermentation, and the wine is matured for 18 months in a mix of new and used French oak barrels, with no filtration before bottling.

Food & Serving
Serve slightly chilled, ideally around 14-16°C, to bring out the wine’s freshness and aromatic detail. It pairs well with duck, herb-roasted chicken, pork loin, mushroom dishes, and salmon, as well as lighter game or earthy vegetarian dishes. Decanting is optional but can help the wine open up if served young.

Producer
Pyramid Valley was founded in 2000 by Mike and Claudia Weersing and has become one of New Zealand’s most respected producers of premium, site-expressive wines. With a strong commitment to biodynamic viticulture and a philosophy rooted in working closely with nature, the estate quickly earned international recognition. Since 2017, Pyramid Valley has been led by Steve Smith and Brian Seth, who have continued to build on the winery’s reputation and expand its vineyard holdings, including Managa Estate in Central Otago.
