Last year we hosted Claudia Weersing from Pyramid Valley who guided us through the stunning array of wines that they produced. It was right about that time that Claudia and Mike Weersing sold their vineyard situated in North Canterbury to AONZ. You would be forgiven for having doubts about the ownership and the new vision going forward. The good news is that it is in good hands the winemaker is Huw Kinch who worked with Larry McKenna at Escarpment and the new owners are not just absentee landlords, they fully intend to honour Claudia & Mikes legacy and build on it. The wines were all good but the Chardonnays from the Estate were a stand out, it would be hard to pick between the Lions Tooth and the Field of Fire both fantastic in different ways. It will be interesting to watch this vineyard as more work is undertaken and Huw makes his mark.
