The white wine Pyramid Valley Lion's Tooth Chardonnay, vintage 2020 from the winery Pyramid Valley Vineyards has been rated in 2022 by Anne Krebiehl MW with 96 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape variety Chardonnay from the region North Canterbury in New Zealand.
Gentle lemon comes with a touch of smoke, but with more air, it is ripe Amalfi lemon that wins the day, gently flanked by notions of dried corn husk. The palate is fluid, vivid, bright, lively and yet concentrated in texture, like bundled ripe lemon and sunshine combined, anchored in cooler, smooth, stony depth. Beautiful nuance unfolds and shimmers with stone and pepper spice and more of that luminous lemon. The finish is chalky and long.
