INFO: The remote mountains and foothills of the upper Awatere and Wairau and it's valleys are home to Lake Chalice’s three unique vineyard sites. The grapes were sourced from a selection of Marlborough sites which are ideal for producing rich and vibrant Pinot Gris fruit .
The grapes are left for just a few hours on skins to extract the delicate colour, aromas and flavour before being carefully pressed. After settling, the juice was fermented in 100% stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures to retain the freshness and pure fruit flavours. The wine was left on light lees for a short period, and went through partial malolactic conversion to increase the texture.
A pale, blush pink rosé offering mouthwatering aromas of crushed berries with strawberry highlights. Fresh and elegant, with ripe raspberry spritz and white pear flavours.
