Fermentation was stopped early, leaving a gentle off-dry sweetness that balances the bright acidity and gives lovely texture on a long finish — 100% Riesling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe producer\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLake Chalice was established in 1989 in Marlborough and carries New Zealand's native falcon, the Kārearea, on every label; winemaker Chloe Gabrielsen works parcel by parcel from the estate's three vineyard sites. This Riesling comes from a single vineyard, the Walsh block at Woodbourne in the central Wairau Valley, where stony, sandy soils give low yields of intensely flavoured fruit, picked at just 19.8 Brix to keep the citrus character. A long, cool fermentation in stainless steel was arrested to create the off-dry style and a modest 10.5% alcohol. The winery is a certified Sustainable Winegrower of New Zealand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFood and drinking\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe at 7–9°C. The touch of sweetness makes it a natural with spicy food — Thai, Vietnamese or Szechuan — as well as crab, smoked salmon or a fresh goat's cheese. Under screwcap; drink now and over the next three to five years. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lake Chalice","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58464554189183,"sku":"HNW-5473224A","price":19.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/4192\/4998\/files\/HNW-5473224A.png?v=1789767093","url":"https:\/\/www.edkawines.com\/products\/2024-riesling-the-falcon-lake-chalice","provider":"Edka Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
