  • Distinct aromas of passionfruit, blackcurrant leaf, and zesty grapefruit complement the elegant and flinty bouquet. Refreshing tropical characters are echoed on the palate, underpinned by a salty minerality and a lingering, fruity finish.

The grapes were pressed immediately after harvesting to minimise skin contact. The juice was settled and cool fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with Sauvignon Blanc yeasts to encourage maximum thiol characters. Thiols are the compounds naturally found on Sauvignon Blanc grapes that impart Marlborough’s signature tropical notes.

Winery

The fruit for this wine is harvested from the Lower Wairau region of Marlborough. The eastern floodplain soils are nutrient-rich silty loam, renowned for delivering Marlborough's iconic tropical-flavoured Sauvignon Blanc. To capture the maximum expression of regional characteristics, the pruning, irrigation, and canopy management are dictated by each variety and by each unique block of land.

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. Karearea favours the remote mountains and foothills of the upper Awatere and Wairau valleys, 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’.
