| Winery | The fruit is harvested from a single vineyard, the Walsh block, in the Woodbourne area of Marlborough's central Wairau region. The berries are carefully selected at harvest time and are picked at an average of only 19.8 Brix to retain the fresh citrus flavours. The vineyard's stony, sandy soil results in low yields of intensely flavoured fruit from various pruning methods. Lake Chalice was established in 1989 with a vision of producing internationally recognized wines from the heart of the Marlborough region. New Zealand’s native falcon, the ‘Karearea’, is proudly displayed on every bottle of Lake Chalice wine. Karearea favours the remote mountains and foothills of the upper Awatere and Wairau valleys, which are home to Lake Chalice’s three unique vineyard sites. Each vineyard has a diverse microclimate, biodiversity, and terroir, seamlessly translated into multi-award-winning wines by talented winemaker Chloe Gabrielsen. Taking a boutique approach, she handcrafts parcels of fruit from single vineyards into elegant, aromatic, fruit-driven wines and has garnered a global reputation for outstanding quality. Certified ‘Sustainable Winegrower of New Zealand’. |
