Plume is Lake Chalice’s finest Pinot Noir, crafted from hand-harvested clone 667 grapes sourced from the Eyrie Vineyard in the Waihopai Valley. Sustainably cultivated under the Sustainable Winegrowing NZ program, the vines benefit from careful vineyard management.
20% of the fruit was co-fermented as whole clusters, adding complexity, and the wine was matured for 10 months in French oak barriques (one-third new, one-third second use, and one-third third use). Unfined and unfiltered to preserve purity, it is designed for bottle aging and may develop natural sediment over time.
