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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVINTAGE NOTES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e2024 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THIS PRODUCT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e New Zealand\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Marlborough\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2024\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003evariety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chardonnay\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ealcohol volume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.0\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eclosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Screwcap\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003evolume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eweight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.3kg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ewine style:\u003c\/strong\u003e White (Medium Bodied Oaked)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Catalina Sounds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42578755518697,"sku":"CATCHA20-6","price":233.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2435\/3999\/files\/Catalina_Sounds_Chardonnay_2023.jpg?v=1770110350","url":"https:\/\/thewineprovidore.com.au\/products\/catalina-sounds-chardonnay-2024-6pack-13-750ml","provider":"The Wine Providore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
