Description

Description:

Lake Chalice 'The Falcon' Marlborough Riesling is a captivating expression of New Zealand winemaking, crafted in the heart of the renowned Marlborough region. This expertly made Riesling celebrates the region's unique terroir, with grapes sourced exclusively from the prestigious Walsh block in the central Wairau Valley. The native 'Karearea' falcon emblazoned on each bottle symbolises the purity and vitality of this breathtaking landscape, where stony, sandy soils produce low yields of intensely flavoured fruit. Under the meticulous care of winemaker Chloe Gabrielsen, this wine is handcrafted in boutique parcels, delivering elegance and outstanding aromatic character. Certified by Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand, Lake Chalice is globally recognised for outstanding quality and environmentally conscious practices.

Tasting Notes
Appearance:
A shimmering, pale straw colour with delicate green hues, showcasing the youthful vibrancy for which Marlborough Rieslings are renowned.

Nose:
Enticingly aromatic with a lifted bouquet of freshly sliced apple and juicy, ripe pear. Layers of zesty citrus-particularly lemon-combine with subtle notes of apricot, offering an inviting and complex nose.

Palate:
On the palate, this Riesling delivers a harmonious balance of natural sweetness and bright, refreshing acidity. Intensely flavoured, it exhibits nuances of crisp apple, succulent pear, and vibrant citrus zest, underpinned by elegant minerality and a supple, rounded texture.

Finish:
The finish is clean, off-dry, and lingering, with a lovely length that leaves the mouth tingling with citrus and orchard fruit notes. Balanced and refined, it invites you back for another sip. Whether enjoyed on its own or paired with aromatic dishes and lighter fare, Lake Chalice 'The Falcon' Marlborough Riesling is a sophisticated choice for lovers of aromatic, fruit-driven wines.
