Tasting Notes
The Lake Chalice The Falcon Marlborough Rosé 2021 presents a pale blush pink hue, inviting you to experience a wine that’s both delicate and compelling. On the nose, it offers mouthwatering aromas of crushed berries, complemented by the sweet fragrance of fresh strawberries. On the palate, this rosé dazzles with vibrant notes of juicy, ripe raspberries and subtle white pear. The wine’s fresh, crisp acidity leads to a clean, smooth finish, lingering with refreshing fruit flavours that leave you craving another sip.
Vintage Conditions
The 2021 vintage was characterized by challenging weather conditions, which led to a reduced yield. However, this decrease in quantity resulted in fruit with an increased concentration and intensity, enhancing the wine’s complexity. The careful selection of high-quality fruit during this vintage contributed to the exceptional quality of the wine, making it an ideal choice for discerning wine enthusiasts.
Food Pairings
This versatile rosé pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes, from fresh seafood and salads to grilled chicken and light Mediterranean fare. Its refreshing acidity makes it an excellent companion for cheeses such as goat cheese and mild feta.
Winemaking
Crafted by talented winemaker Chloe Gabrielsen, this rosé is produced with an unwavering commitment to quality and sustainability. The wine is vegan and vegetarian-friendly and is bottled with a screwcap closure to preserve freshness. While not organic or biodynamic, the focus remains on producing a high-quality, clean wine that showcases the purity of the grapes.

| Winery | The grapes were sourced from a selection of Marlborough sites ideal for producing rich and vibrant Pinot Gris fruit. The Wairau River has deposited various soils over millennia, resulting in a diverse and lively range of terroirs. The vines are predominantly replacement cane pruned, with VSP training methods; this combination ensures an optimum balance between good yields while ensuring airflow throughout the canopy, which helps to minimise the risk of disease pressure in the vineyard. The cooling sea breezes in Marlborough create a wide diurnal temperature range that allows for retaining vibrant acidity, balancing the concentrated fruit notes. The grapes are machine-harvested during the cool mornings and are swiftly transported to the winery to maintain the freshness and vibrancy of flavour. |
