Personalised Catalina Sounds Sauvignon Blanc 2023 13% 750ml

Fruit was harvested when ripe from our estate and grower vineyards in the cooler part of the day. All the fruit was harvested between the 12th of March and the 10th of April. After pressing the juice was fermented at low temperatures in stainless steel (97%) and a small (3%) portion from our estate in large oak cuvee. All of our vineyards are kept as separate as possible until blending.

Expert Review:
Bob Campbell- 93 points, Weighty, textural sauvignon blanc with lime, grapefruit, passionfruit, feijoa and lemongrass flavours supported by delicious, mouth-watering acidity. A punchy wine that is classically Marlborough.

New Zealand's Catalina water planes (known as flying boats) played a vital role across the South Pacific during and after World War II. Catalina Sounds pays homage to this plane and the beauty of the Marlborough Sounds where it served and made its home. Matthew Ward's aspiration at Catalina Sounds is to continue producing excellent quality wines of beautiful fruit expression, interest, finesse and balance. Striving to create wines of great honesty and integrity that are true to their site, while attempting to incorporate complexity and longevity into the wines.
