2023 'The Falcon' Riesling, Lake Chalice

Marlborough, New Zealand

A refreshing Riesling with enticing aromas of apple and pear layered with ripe and juicy citrus notes. Harmoniously balanced with great structure and a long, lingering off-dry finish.

The fruit is harvested from a single vineyard, the Walsh block in the Woodbourne area of Marlborough’s central Wairau region. The vineyard’s stony, sandy soil results in low yields of intensely flavoured fruit from a combination of different pruning methods.

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 grapes underwent a long, cool fermentation under temperature controlled conditions in stainless steel tanks. Fermentation was arrested in order to create an off- dry style and lower alcohol.
