Another three golds for Lake Chalice
Oct 20, 2026
It’s been a golden run for us at Lake Chalice Wines, with another three Gold medals awarded to three different wines, this time at the National Wine Awards of Aotearoa New Zealand.
One of the country’s most respected wine competitions, it was a delight to pick up Gold for The Falcon Pinot Gris 2026, The Falcon Riesling 2025 and The Raptor Chardonnay 2025.
The success came alongside our success at the 2026 New Zealand International Wine Show, which also awarded The Raptor Chardonnay 2025 with Gold, alongside both The Nest and The Falcon Sauvignon Blanc 2026.
“We’ve always had a commitment to precision at Lake Chalice Wines, whereby we wait for the perfect moment to harvest our fruit and treat it carefully in the winery to bring award-worthy wines to the bottle,” says winemaker Chloe Gabrielsen.
“To have these wines recognised by our peers as being the top examples that we strive for gives us confidence that we are doing Lake Chalice, and Marlborough proud.”
Awards are a wonderful nod from the judges, but the real test is in your glass! Each of these wines
is available via our website. Each bottle of Lake Chalice wine ordered directly through the website now sees $1 donated to the Kārearea Falcon Trust.
