Earth Smoke is the dark twin to the famed Angel Flower vineyard — a companion block producing Pinot Noir of darker fruit, wild aromatics and firm mineral structure. Farmed biodynamically and vinified with minimal intervention, Earth Smoke embodies Pyramid Valley’s pursuit of purity and place — balancing intensity with ethereal elegance. Triple critical acclaim — 96 points Halliday Wine Companion, 96 points Decanter Magazine, 95 points The Wine Front — confirming Earth Smoke as one of New Zealand’s true vinous treasures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eVineyard \u0026amp; Winemaking\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the Earth Smoke block — the companion to the famed Angel Flower vineyard — this site produces Pinot Noir of darker fruit, wild aromatics and firm mineral structure. Farmed biodynamically and vinified with minimal intervention — wild ferment, gentle extraction and ageing in fine French oak — this is purity and terroir in their truest form. The limestone and clay soils of North Canterbury lend natural tension, minerality and longevity to the wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDeep garnet with a crimson rim — luminous and pure in the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWild, brooding and hauntingly complex with:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ewild blackberry, cherry skin and plum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eearth, smoke, spice and dried herbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003etruffle, graphite and forest floor — the darker, more soulful side of Pyramid Valley Pinot Noir\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNorth Canterbury Pinot Noir of world-class aromatic distinction — the wild blackberry and cherry skin character of premium biodynamic Pinot Noir beautifully integrated with the earth, smoke and graphite complexity of Pyramid Valley’s celebrated minimal-intervention winemaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConcentrated yet refined — brooding dark fruit framed by fine-grained tannins and cool-climate tension.\u003cbr\u003eExpect layers of:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emineral drive and savoury elegance unfolding with time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efine-grained tannins and cool-climate tension\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe extraordinary depth and age-worthiness of great Earth Smoke Pinot Noir\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLong, firm and hauntingly complex — the harmony of fruit, spice and soil resonating for minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCritical Acclaim\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96pts – Halliday Wine Companion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96pts – Decanter Magazine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95pts – The Wine Front\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWine Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariety:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Pinot Noir\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVineyard:\u003c\/strong\u003e Earth Smoke block (companion to Angel Flower)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e North Canterbury, New Zealand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pyramid Valley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFounders:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mike and Claudia Weersing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFarming:\u003c\/strong\u003e Biodynamic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaking:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wild ferment, gentle extraction, fine French oak, minimal intervention\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eServing Temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14–16°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCellaring:\u003c\/strong\u003e Drink now – 2037+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFood Pairings\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoast duck with spiced cherry jus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMushroom and truffle risotto\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChargrilled lamb with rosemary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAged cheddar or Comté\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeetroot tart with thyme and balsamic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy We Love It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e2022 Earth Smoke Pinot Noir\u003c\/strong\u003e is the dark twin to Angel Flower — more brooding, more textural and deeply expressive. 96 points Halliday Wine Companion, 96 points Decanter Magazine, 95 points The Wine Front.
