Lake Chalice The Falcon Marlborough Chardonnay 2020

Description

• French oak
• Citrus & melon
• Caramel butter
• Luscious

Light straw yellow. Aromas of citrus, lemon and melon with subtle notes of butter caramel on the finish. Flavours of ripe peach, fresh, luscious and tropical citrus with hints of lemon zest and pastry notes.

The majority of fruit is harvested from their Falcon Vineyard and blended with other carefully selected blocks from Marlboroughs Wairau valley.

Fermented and oaked in tank before moving to French oak barriques for the final months maturing in the seasoned casks. Only a few parcels of fruit undergo malolactic fermentation, the rest are left untouched giving the final blend an acid driven and clean fresh palate.
