Plume by Lake Chalice Sauvignon Blanc 2024
Trust your Taste
Mango, passionfruit and green apple lead into a chalky, mineral palate in this textured Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Subtle oak adds detail, while a strong lime-like freshness drives the long finish. Try it if you enjoy a generous Sauvignon with plenty of energy and savoury depth.

How this wine feels
There is plenty of fruit up front, then a strong fresh line carries the wine through. The chalky texture adds a little grip, and a salty mineral note keeps the finish interesting. This is an assertive, layered white rather than a very soft one.
The sliders show how strongly each characteristic comes through. Higher does not mean better.
How much presence and firmness the wine has in your mouth.
The drying, gripping feeling on your gums.
The fresh, mouth-watering edge of the wine.
Bitter, herbal or savoury character beyond the fruit.
How smooth and rounded the wine feels.
Ripe fruit character. This is not a sugar-sweetness rating.
Ripe fruit flavours can be present in dry wines. Sweet-Fruit Expression describes fruit character, not residual sugar.
Behind the bottle
From selected rows in Dillon’s Point, Marlborough, with fruit left longer on the vine for flavour concentration.
Partially whole-bunch pressed, fermented with wild and selected yeasts, then aged in seasoned French and American oak barriques.
