Description

Description:

Lake Chalice 'The Falcon' Sauvignon Blanc hails from the heart of Marlborough, New Zealand, a region renowned for its iconic, expressive white wines. Crafted with dedication and finesse by winemaker Chloe Gabrielsen, this vibrant Sauvignon Blanc is celebrated globally for its outstanding quality and boutique approach. The wine is sourced from the nutrient-rich, silty loam soils of the Lower Wairau, an area famed for producing tropical-flavoured Sauvignon Blanc. Displaying the proud emblem of the native 'Karearea' falcon, every bottle reflects the unique terroir and biodiversity of the three exceptional vineyard sites nestled in the Wairau and Awatere Valleys. Certified as a 'Sustainable Winegrower of New Zealand', Lake Chalice is committed to environmentally conscious viticulture and meticulous winemaking to ensure every glass is memorable.
