No
need to develop a cleaver "catch" for this week's WOW! Lake Chalice
did all of the hard work themselves, with a hint of bubbles in their New
Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, it only seems appropriate that it bear the
name "Cracklin' Savie!"Billed as the perfect wine for a barbeque, this new gem arrives just in time for the upcoming weeks of families, friends and coworkers huddled around an open flame!
For under $18 per bottle, this is the perfect wine to bring as a hostess gift or if you just want to be the talk of the party...when was the last time someone that you know brought a sparkling Sauvignon Blanc?!
Product Description
"Lake Chalice Wines is one of the few remaining privately and
locally owned wine companies in New Zealand and is located in the
country's main wine-growing region, Marlborough. Launched in 1989 on a
11ha (28 acre), stony paddock in Rapaura, Wairau Valley, Lake Chalice
Wines now owns four key vineyard sites, as well as sourcing fruit from
several carefully selected contract growers. Founders Chris Gambitsis
and Phil Binnie, who were joined in 1998 by winemaker Matt Thomson,
share a simple philosophy: to make quality varietal wines from
Marlborough grapes.
The Karearea or NZ falcon emblem features on the Lake Chalice Wines' label. In a land with no native mammals, this rare, endemic raptor has always flown fearlessly above the rest. Lake Chalice Wines is a proud sponsor of the Wingspan Birds of Prey Trust, dedicated to preserving New Zealand's raptors." - Winery Notes

Lake Chalice "Cracklin’ Savie" Sauvignon Blanc Tasting Notes
"Pale straw in appearance with green hues, and some little
bubbles. An intense bouquet with aromas of passionfruit and
blackcurrant. A crisp, medium bodied on the palate, wine bursting with
classical varietal flavours of passionfruit, blackcurrant and
gooseberry, with a hint of sparkle." - Winemaker Notes
