The new owners have expanded Pyramid Valley's production to include an offering from their vineyard in Central Otago. Formerly known as Lowburn Ferry, it's been renamed Manata. The 2017 Pinot Noir delivers bold black cherry and subtle earthy notes, a medium to full-bodied palate and hints of mocha and plum. With its suave, silky texture, it's drinkable now, but it shows the concentration and length to drink well through 2026.
