"Mouthwatering flavours on the palate"

"This wine carries crisp notes of citrus blossom and nectarine. Mouthwatering flavours on the palate show hints of juniperberry and lemon barley sorbet. Savour with fine company and spectacular conversation."

Hand tended in small batches from vine to bottle, low crops and ultra ripe fruit are utilised to produce premium wine that has become renowned for exhibiting intense fruit characteristics and classical elegance.

"balanced with a sweet core of citrus, melons and grapefruit zest"

"a long tangelo finish"

This wine has an exotic nose with persimmons, guava and melons. Still very young, this wine has mouthwatering acidity that is balanced with a sweet core of citrus, melons and grapefruit zest. The salty minerality in the wine leads to a long tangelo finish. This wine would benefit from cellaring.

All Carrick Rieslings are hand harvested, and picked early to preserve the powerful floral aromatics and bright citrus acidity which are characteristic of Central Otago. The wine has been whole bunch pressed and fermented with wild yeast. The gentle handling of this wine means that it has been bottled without fining.

"good fruit concentration and weight in the mouth"

"a core of minerality and tangy acidity, which flows through the palate"

The wine’s bouquet and flavour suggests citrus fruit, especially limes, along with peaches, nectarines, lychees, pineapple and tropical spices. The low crop levels have produced good fruit concentration and weight in the mouth. There is a core of minerality and tangy acidity, which flows through the palate, helping to draw out the wine’s length and balance its
off-dry finish. While ready to drink on release, with careful cellaring, it should continue to develop and blossom for a decade or more.

In making this wine we especially selected vines with low to moderate levels of crop. After... Read more »

"Creamy texture with depth and complexity"

"soft limey acid finish to give length"

Strawberry and orange blossom. Subtle spice of cinnamon. Creamy texture with depth and complexity, soft limey acid finish to give length. A drier style Rose, so very suited to accompanying a meal.

A tricky year in the vineyards north of Auckland, with good bud burst and fruit set resulting in a big crop, so much fruit thinning was needed. Some rain in February and March meant ripening was slow and the grapes were not harvested until mid May - two weeks later than normal.

The grapes were handpicked at 21.5 brix to retain acids and avoid a high alcohol. Chilled to 8 brix, destemmed but not crushed and held in press for 6 hours to... Read more »

"clean and fresh and is an ideal wine for summer drinking"

The aromas are of milk chocolate and blackberry bush with hints of red berry. The palate begins again with the character of milk chocolate and red berry with a very soft texture from having low acidity balancing the dryness and minerality of the wine. The wine finishes clean and fresh and is an ideal wine for summer drinking.

"Delicately bodied with delightful delicate flavours of strawberry and currants"

Bright, pink salmon colour. Delicately bodied with delightful delicate flavours of strawberry and currants. Winemakers Notes

In 1989 the unlikely combination of two windsurfing mates restauranteur Chris Gambitsis and police detective Phil Binnie decided that enjoying wine was not enough and what they really wanted to do was grow grapes and make wine. In true kiwi fashion, they jumped in the deep end, and set about establishing the notoriously stony Falcon Vineyard. They named their fledgling operation Lake Chalice Wines, after the wilderness lake in the Richmond range bordering the north of the Wairau Plain, and adopted the stunning New Zealand Falcon (Karearea) as their emblem.
