Lake Chalice Falcon Sauvignon Blanc 2022

Established in Marlborough in 1989, Lake Chalice is named after the wilderness lake in the Richmond ranges bordering the north of the Wairau Valley. Today the winery is a Marlborough success story – great wines, a tonne of awards and 100% NZ family owned.

New Zealand's endemic falcon – the ‘Karearea' – is proudly displayed on every bottle of Lake Chalice wine. Sadly, this magnificent raptor is now threatened, and Lake Chalice Wines work closely with the Marlborough Falcon Conservation Trust on the Karearea Release Program to repopulate our native falcon back into the Marlborough wilderness.

Sourced from Marlborough's Lower Wairau Valley, the grapes for this wine were picked in peak condition, before cool fermentation to retain freshness and elegance. The Falcon Sauvignon Blanc is made to showcase our Talon vineyard. Aromas of green apple blossom with fresh nettle and layered tropical notes. On the palate, a delicately textured wine with bright tropical flavours showing fullness of palate through to the finish. 12.5% ABV.
