Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc at its best! This is without a doubt the best New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc to pass through the Graysonline Tasting Panel.
Summer is fast approaching and you would be mad not to have a bottle of "The Raptor" on hand to enjoy with salads or seafood dishes.
Colour
Bright, pale straw on release.
Aroma
Powerful aromas of passionfruit and blackcurrant with hints of grapefruit.
Palate
The palate is pleasingly rich and concentrated with a well balanced acidity that leads to a lingering finish.
Cellaring Potential
Released September 2010. Enjoy now and over the next 2 years.
Food Matching
Enjoy with seafood, white meats, ethnic cuisine or as a bracing aperitif.
Winemaking Notes
The grapes were machine harvested in the cool of the evening and transported immediately to the winery for processing to minimise oxygen contact. Fermentation was controlled at low temperatures to retain the freshness and zing of the fruit. Limited release of 550 cases.
Pure Gold Medal, Air New Zealand Wine Awards 2010 for the third vintage in a row.
Lake Chalice Wines is one of the few remaining privately and locally owned wine companies in New Zealand and is located in the country's main wine-growing region, Marlborough.
Launched in 1989 on a 11ha (28 acre), stony paddock in Rapaura, Wairau Valley, Lake Chalice Wines now owns four key vineyard sites, as well as sourcing fruit from several carefully selected contract growers.
Founders Chris Gambitsis and Phil Binnie, who were joined in 1998 by winemaker Matt Thomson, share a simple philosophy: to make quality varietal wines from Marlborough grapes.
The Karearea or NZ falcon emblem features on the Lake Chalice Wines' label. In a land with no native mammals, this rare, endemic raptor has always flown fearlessly above the rest. Lake Chalice Wines is a proud sponsor of the Wingspan Birds of Prey Trust, dedicated to preserving New Zealand's raptors.

A beautiful classy sauvignon blanc showing great complexity. Grapefruit and tropical flavours are all in balance with a beautiful palate. Minerality and a hint of chalkiness add to this wine. It's tight and stands above the mundane sauvignon blancs that are on the market. (22/DEC/2010)
