Lake Chalice The Falcon Marlborough Rosé 2025

Description

Dry, Pastry, Peach

"Plush, ripe, fruity and ready to drink with flavours of strawberry and cherry fruits, there’s a lick of raspberry and red apple then a wet stone quality. Balanced and well made, fruity and ready with no tannins and a mouth-watering acid line. Best from 2025 through December 2026" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Sep 2025

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.
