VINIFICATION
The winemaking for Chardonnay always takes a minimal approach and all batches are handled the same. Fruit is pressed and the free run and hard pressing portions separated. The juice is minimally settled for 24 hours before racking and going to either large format cuve, or 500 litre puncheons that are two, three and four years old. After a long, slow fermentation the wines rest on their lees for 10 months until the individual components are blended, lightly fined and filtered prior to harvest in March the following year. The wine is vegan friendly.
VINTAGE NOTES
2024 was a truly remarkable growing season that was marked by dry, warm weather. A significant late season frost and a cooler start to flowering in December created low yields across much of the region and all varietals. With no disease pressure, and the driest summer in Marlborough for over 90 years the two parcels of Chardonnay for Catalina Sounds was harvested on the 15th and 23rd of March.
