The grapes were sourced from a selection of Marlborough sites which are ideal for producing rich and vibrant Pinot Gris fruit. The Wairau River has deposited a variety of soils over millennia, resulting in a diverse and vibrant range of terroirs. The vines are predominantly replacement cane pruned, with VSP training methods; this combination ensures 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 which
helps to retain vibrant acidity, balancing the concentrated fruit notes. The grapes are machine-harvested during the cool mornings and are swiftly transported to the winery to retain freshness and vibrancy of flavour.
Lake Chalice was established in 1989 with a vision of producing internationally recognised wines from the heart of the Marlborough region. New Zealand’s native falcon, the ‘Kārearea’, is proudly displayed on every bottle of Lake Chalice wine.
Kārearea favour the remote mountains and foothills of the upper Awatere and Wairau valleys and these valleys are home to Lake Chalice’s three unique vineyard sites. Each vineyard has a diverse microclimate, biodiversity and terroir which are 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 of outstanding quality. Certified ‘Sustainable Winegrower of New Zealand’.
