Description

Description:

Experience the essence of Marlborough with Lake Chalice 'The Raptor' Sauvignon Blanc, an exceptional wine crafted in the heart of New Zealand's most renowned wine region. Sourced from the vibrant, nutrient-rich soils of the Dillons Point area in the Lower Wairau Valley, this wine encapsulates the dynamic terroir shaped by tectonic movement and a unique microclimate. Winemaker Chloe Gabrielsen handcrafts each parcel of fruit from Lake Chalice's distinctive single vineyard sites, translating Marlborough's natural bounty into a wine of outstanding global acclaim. The label proudly features the Karearea, New Zealand's native falcon, symbolising both the region's natural heritage and the winery's dedication to sustainability and quality.

Tasting Notes
Appearance:
Pale straw with glistening green hues, this Sauvignon Blanc displays freshness and vibrancy in the glass, hinting at the lively character within.

Nose:
Intensely aromatic and expressive, the nose bursts with ripe grapefruit and bright lime, elegantly framed by the leafy note of blackcurrant. Layers of white stone fruit, passionfruit, and a hint of mango intertwine with herbal nuances and a touch of salinity, creating an inviting, complex bouquet.

Palate:
Generous and full, the palate offers a vibrant array of crunchy green fruit, juicy passionfruit, and ripe pear, underscored by refreshingly tropical mango and the exotic zing of pomegranate. The textured mouthfeel is further complemented by subtle mineral notes and a gentle hint of white pepper, delivering depth and character.

Finish:
A long, concentrated finish lingers, marked by lingering salt and mineral undertones and a clean, mouth-watering dryness, embodying the pure fruit expression and signature vibrancy of premium Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Savour Lake Chalice 'The Raptor' Sauvignon Blanc as a stunning aperitif or pair it with fresh seafood, vibrant salads, and aromatic Asian dishes for a truly memorable wine experience.
