Personalised Catalina Sounds Sound of White Pinot Noir 2020 13.5% 750ml

Tasting Notes

Palate
The palate is supple with dense ripe fruit and a youthful backbone to support ageing.

Aroma
The wine is brooding initially, with clove spice, brazil nut and omega plum aromatics.

Vintage notes
The 2019/2020 season will be one to remember for many reasons. Spring started out with mixed weather – cool temperatures, strong north-west winds, rain and a healthy dose of sunshine which became settled warm weather through flowering in December, ensuring a modest fruit set. Late January into February was hotter than average and very dry, then eased into classic Marlborough warm days and cool nights. Those warm days and cool nights help to express the unique fruit profile of Marlborough with fresh, juicy acidity to match.

Winemakers comments
My desire with the Sound of White wines is to highlight the vineyard, with very little influence from the winemaker, aside from the harvest decision. The process from here is very simple.
