Pyramid Valley Lions Tooth Chardonnay 2023

Biodynamic. Lion’s Tooth is a steeply inclined, east-facing site on soils described as having a “nut and crumb structure and great mineral fertility.” It’s the classic limestone and clay of the area but with a higher balance of clay (30%) than Field of Fire. 

There are riveting aromas of flint, toast, mandarin peel and orange blossoms while concentrated, focused flavours envelop the palate with bursts of acidity and the phenolic breadth this site always delivers. It finishes with turbo-charged zeal and impeccable length. Pyramid only made 126 six-packs in 2023. A shame that so few will get to taste this enthralling Chardonnay.
