2019 'Plume' Pinot Noir, Lake Chalice Wine Republic

2019 'Plume' Pinot Noir, Lake Chalice

Marlborough, New Zealand

Falcon Silk

This is Lake Chalice’s finest Pinot Noir: refined, silky and deeply expressive. Wild raspberry, red cherry and red plum lead the nose, lifted by rose petal, baking spice, forest floor, clove and a subtle earthy mineral note. The 2019 vintage was[object Object],[object Object],[object Object] long, hot and dry, giving concentrated fruit, but the cool Waihopai nights kept the wine poised and aromatic.

On the palate, it is supple and finely structured, with bright red fruit, dried herbs, savoury oak and smooth, polished tannins. Whole-cluster complexity adds spice and lift, while bottle age has brought extra harmony and a more graceful texture. This is mature Marlborough Pinot with poise and purity: beautiful now, but still with the depth and structure to evolve.

For when
A special dinner needs Pinot with elegance and meaning.

Pairs with
Roast duck, lamb loin, pork tenderloin, mushroom risotto, beetroot tart, grilled salmon, venison, soft washed-rind cheeses or aged Comté.

The Plume is Lake Chalice’s pinnacle Pinot Noir, made only in limited quantities from standout parcels and strong vintages. The name refers to the symbolic feather of the New Zealand falcon, the Kārearea, which appears on every Lake Chalice label and reflects the winery’s long-running conservation commitment. Sourced from the Eyrie Vineyard in Marlborough’s Waihopai Valley, this is a small-production Pinot with both polish and purpose.

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 ‘Karearea’, is proudly displayed on every bottle of Lake Chalice wine. Karearea 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’.

The Plume is Lake Chalice’s finest Pinot Noir. 20% of the fruit was co-fermented as whole clusters, imparting layers of complexity. It was 100% matured for 10 months in 225-litre French oak barriques, one third of which was new, one third was second use and one third was third use. The quality of the fruit was so high that this wine was vinified without fining or filtration and was crafted with the aim of spending time in bottle, so it may have a natural sediment from its time being bottle-aged.
