Lake Chalice The Falcon

Pinot Gris

Now let’s indulge in one of those vibrant summer stone fruit pastries in the cabinet. The first bite, surprisingly, isn’t sweet. Instead, it’s simple and clean, a delicate balance of acidity with a cream-like texture in the mouth. It’s full of fresh-cut peaches, oranges, a little spice and with a slight sweetness to finish. You can’t help but take another bite just to make sure you got it all. Maybe one more. Do you feel like kissing the baker? That’s what you can expect from this easy-to-drink, Marlborough Pinot Gris.

Pressed immediately following harvest to minimise skin contact and retain freshness, then cool-fermented at 14+ degrees to maintain rich aromatics. This Pinot Gris sat on lees for 2-3 months post fermentation to further develop in flavour.

Pure and delicate aromas of fresh pear with a hint of spice.

Palate

Elegant with fresh white pear, delicate pastry and tasty savoury notes. The palate is textural and well structured.

Cellaring

Enjoy now and over the next 3 years. If it makes it past the time it takes to chill we’d be impressed.
