Pyramid Valley's 'Field of Fire' Chardonnay comes from a close-planted vineyard in New Zealand's North Canterbury region not far from the South Island city of Christchurch.

It is a mineral-driven, steely, saline Chardonnay with hints of grapefruit pith, lime juice and an exceptional tension that will ease with a little bottle age.

If you're looking for big oak, look elsewhere. This is a wine for those who like their Chardonnay fresh, floral, concentrated and pure. An absolute masterpiece that is made in tiny quantities each year.
