A nest is a place of safety and nurture, where life begins. Careful selection of materials and location ensures a strong foundation, allowing growth before taking flight.

Nest wines follow the same philosophy—sourced from select Marlborough vineyards, offering expressive flavours and an approachable style. An ideal introduction to Lake Chalice, crafted for everyday enjoyment.

The Karearea, New Zealand’s native falcon, soars on every bottle of Lake Chalice. Once abundant in Marlborough, now under threat from pests and habitat loss. Support for the Falcon Trust aids conservation efforts to protect this remarkable bird.

The Falcon range stands as the core of Lake Chalice, showcasing signature vineyard expressions across a diverse selection of varieties.

Raptors are nature’s elite hunters—sharp-eyed, powerful, and vital to New Zealand’s ecosystem.

The Raptor range reflects this strength, with select parcels of exceptional fruit chosen for pure varietal expression. Crafted with precision, these wines stand as superior examples of their kind.

In te reo Maori, Raukura—the feather—is a symbol of honour and prestige. Reserved for those of great mana, carrying deep significance.

The Plume range embodies this spirit. Made only in exceptional vintages, a pinnacle of Lake Chalice—where tradition, terroir, and artistry converge. A wine to savour, a moment to treasure.
