With each bottle proudly displaying the native Karearea falcon, Lake Chalice highlights its commitment to sustainable practices and attention to detail. The result is a smooth, approachable Merlot, reflecting the region's unique climate and soil diversity, and offering outstanding quality and pure varietal expression.
