3 x Catalina Sounds Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2022

AWARDED 98/100 POINTS: WineState Magazine

Awarded 93/100 Points: NZ Wine Rater, Sauvignon Blanc Tasting 2022

AWARDED 90/100 POINTS & 4 STARS: Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Sep 2022

"Restrained, vinous, nose with a herbal lift that keeps you guessing and going back for more. With time in the glass, there are aromas of lemon zest, honeydew melon, nectarine stone, blackcurrant leaf, chervil and Thai basil. An understated, subtle, stylish wine with a delicate, saline, oyster-shell freshness that for all its elegance still shows good concentration and depth" NZ Wine Rater, Sauvignon Blanc Tasting 2022

"Light, fresh, mouth-watering wine with restrained passionfruit, lemongrass and lime zest. Restrained wine with appealing purity. Made with a light touch. Would be better if the volume was turned up a bit" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Sep 2022

Preserved citrus, elderflower, subtle tropical fruit and a touch of Jalapeño create enticing aromatics. Beautiful intensity of flavour from start to finish, with crisp and juicy minerality, medium fruit weight and threaded together with a fine line of texture. A reflection of excellent vineyards and winemaking style in a challenging season. Enjoy over the next 3 years or more when cellared correctly.

Food Pairing: A range of seafood dishes, hard cheeses and crisp green salads with fresh herbs.

3 x Catalina Sounds Marlborough Pinot Gris 2022

With lifted floral notes of elderflower, pear, cinnamon and custard. The palate is generous, where ripe fruit and texture create richness, yet balance with very fine minerality and a touch of residual sugar to bring the wine to a memorable finish. Made in a dry style.

3 x Catalina Sounds Marlborough Chardonnay 2021

AWARDED GOLD MEDAL: National Wine Awards Aotearoa 2022

AWARDED 93/100 POINTS: Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier

AWARDED 93/100 POINTS: Wine Rater

AWARDED 4 STARS: Michael Cooper

An evolving wine, with baking spices, toasted almonds, warm butter and fresh pear aromatics. The palate is full with a moreish creaminess, finely balanced texture and a finish that would have new and old Chardonnay lovers alike picking up another glass. Enjoy over the next 3-5 years when cellared correctly.

3 x Catalina Sounds Marlborough Pinot Noir 2021

A bit brooding at first, this takes a minute to open up. Baking spices, blueberry and cassis, reveal lifted red fruits and cinnamon, wrapped up in toasty oak. The palate is medium bodied with juicy red cherries, soft acid and fine chalky tannins. Enjoy over the next 5-7 years when cellared correctly.

Food Pairing: Crispy duck pancakes, grilled quail, pulled pork, seared salmon with barbecued beetroot.
