Lake Chalice The Falcon Marlborough Rosé 2023

Description

Dry, Pastry, Peach

"Apricot and pale salmon hues lead to a bouquet of fruit and freshness, aromas of peach and red apple flesh, some yellow plum and raspberry moments. Equally fruity and plush on the palate with a silky texture, contrasting acid line and fruit flavours that mirror the bouquet. Balanced, well made and ready to drink from day of purchase through end of summer 2025" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Mar 2024

This Marlborough Rosé is rich in contradictions. The aroma is like being in a patisserie, surrounded by the smell of freshly baked pastries filled with peaches and nectarines.

To taste, you have to imagine yourself at an elegant party of someone rich and famous. The centre-piece to the room is a massive display of decadence. It’s a long table, filled with red fruits, peaches and elaborately cut, ripe melons, like some kind of edible sculpture. It’s impossible not to indulge in a little bit of everything as you walk by the table. You might like to get your finest crystal glasses out before you pour this Rosé. But no matter what you drink it from, it’s still going to be elegant. Enjoy now and over the next 2 years. If you read the back label you might be able to last 2 minutes before opening it.

Sourced from predominantly the Marlborough Wairau Valleys.
