LAKE CHALICE THE FALCON MERLOT

Lake Chalice The Falcon Merlot

GRAPES: Merlot
AGEING PERIOD: Matured in a combination of stainless tank and French oak up until time of bottling, storage advice : Enjoy now or—if you’re a sadistic cellaring type—cellar up to 7 years.

Sourced exclusively from a select blend of vineyards in the Hawke’s Bay growing region. Once harvest we transported the grapes overnight to our Marlborough winery to carry out the fermentation process while at peak freshness.

Tasting notes
Deep plum red, an intense nose of blackcurrants, wild berry and ripe black Doris plums. The palate is full bodied with dark fruity elements and hints of savoury olives and warmed tar. You won’t want it to end.

Wine & Food Match
Goes well with hamburgers, nachos, and beef casseroles. Best served at around 14 – 18ºC.
