- Aromas of freshly cut pear mingle with peach undertones on this softly textured Pinot Gris. The palate is beautifully balanced with layers of ripe pear, peach, passionfruit, and a touch of spice on the finish. 2022 saw a typical very warm October, November and December, which allowed for a good solid fruit set. However, an unusually very wet and cold February created a disease risk, which was a real potential threat to harvest success. Fortunately, a dry period from the 20th of February until the 20th of March was exactly what was required. Outstanding autumn conditions, with warm days and cool nights, enabled the grapes to remain healthy and ripen to the desired levels.
The fruit for this wine is predominantly sourced from selected vineyards in the flood plains of Marlborough's lower Wairau Valley. The eastern floodplain soils are nutrient-rich silty loam, renowned for delivering fruit-forward notes. To capture the maximum expression of regional characteristics, the pruning, irrigation, and canopy management are dictated by each variety and each unique block of land.

| Winery | The fruit for this wine is predominantly sourced from selected vineyards in the flood plains of Marlborough's lower Wairau Valley. The eastern flood plain soils are nutrient-rich silty loam, renowned for delivering fruit-forward notes. To capture the maximum expression of regional characteristics, the pruning, irrigation, and canopy management are dictated by each variety and each unique block of land. Lake Chalice was established in 1989 with a vision of producing internationally recognised wines from the heart of the Marlborough region. New Zealand’s native falcon, the ‘Kārearea’, is proudly displayed on every bottle of Lake Chalice wine. Karearea favours the remote mountains and foothills of the upper Awatere and Wairau valleys, home to Lake Chalice’s three unique vineyard sites. Each vineyard has a diverse microclimate, biodiversity, and terroir, seamlessly translated into multi-award-winning wines by talented winemaker Chloe Gabrielsen. Taking a boutique approach, she handcrafts parcels of fruit from single vineyards into elegant, aromatic, fruit-driven wines and has garnered a global reputation for outstanding quality.
