Look for the Lake Chalice Wines’ distinctive mark of excellence on all of our labels – the endemic New Zealand Falcon or Kārearea.

Then you see a small movement in the vines. It's time. You swoop with precision to the floor below and grab your prey.

This is the same approach Chloe Gabrielsen and the winemaking team use.
Responding to conditions with a watchful eye on each vineyard, vine and parcel of fruit. Choosing just the right moment to react and making wines that are a liquid snapshot of the place and time they are from, to her it's whakapapa.

Since 2015
