Lake Chalice The Falcon Riesling

Fly like an eagle. Or a falcon. It doesn’t really matter as long as you’re swooping in to stash some of this absolutely drop dead delicious Riesling into your wine nest.

These guys are the proud sponsors of the Wingspan Birds of Prey Trust, which is why you’ll find the Karearea (NZ falcon) slapped on all of their labels. This wine is also just 11% in alcohol – which is around 30% lighter in alcohol and 15% lower in calories than your standard bottle of wine – just something to think about!

Scoring 4 Stars in Cuisine magazine the judges there called it “An elegant riesling with juicy fresh lemon citrus and floral aromas on the nose which are mirrored on the textured palate alongside crisp apple flavours.”

Such a versatile wine when it comes to food – you could bust it before (lightly chilled as an aperitif), during (try Asian cuisine) or after (a nice hunk of blue cheese) a meal.
