Lake Chalice Marlborough Sauvignon 2007 |
| Produced By
Lake Chalice Wines Ltd |
| Tasting Notes |
|
Pale straw with green hues. Intense aromas of guava, passionfruit, and blackcurrant, with hints of fresh crushed herbs. A medium bodied, dry, crisp wine with powerful passion fruit and underlying gooseberry tones. Mouth-watering acidity is balanced by a rich yet elegant mineral palate and leads to a long lingering finish. |
| Winemakers Notes |
|
Transported promptly to the winery and pressed without delay to enable minimal skin contact and juice deterioration. After settling, the juice was cool fermented in stainless steel using selected yeasts. Only the best components were selected for their potential to add to the overall quality and complexity of the Lake Chalice blend. The resulting wine was then carefully stabilised and prepared for bottling so as to retain the fresh fruit characteristics from each of the vineyards. |
| Viticulture Notes |
|
Sourced from selected sub-regions within Marlborough, including the main Wairau Valley, the Waihopai, and the Awatere Valley, to take advantage of the different characteristics each area offers.Harvested at optimum maturity. The 2007 vintage had good ripening in the post Christmas period. Crop levels were moderate, with ripeness and flavours exceptional. |

| This wine has a tropical, almost straw like aroma that is most appealing. Its fruit flavours are sweet and wholesome and when combined with the lively, zesty acidity the result is delicious. A wine that you can afford to drink every day! |
