Plum and berry flavours meet a smooth milk-chocolate texture before a long, lightly toasted finish.

This Pinot Noir comes from Lake Chalice’s Eyrie Vineyard in Marlborough’s cooler Waihopai Valley, where well-draining clay over gravel gives Pinot Noir perfume, depth and structure. It is a more focused and layered expression of the estate’s style, balancing ripe fruit with freshness and finely judged oak.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wine Republic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54799803416961,"sku":null,"price":22.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/0513\/9841\/files\/RaptorPNChalice.png?v=1778072209","url":"https:\/\/www.wine-republic.co.uk\/products\/2023-the-raptor-pinot-noir-lake-chalice","provider":"Wine Republic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
