From January on it was reasonably relaxed as the weather was settled and allowed a long even ripening period. The fruit for this wine is from a single block at the estate and harvested on the 3rd of April 2025.\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\u003eVINIFICATION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003eThe winemaking is intended to be gentle. Hand harvested fruit is lightly pressed to a tank and briefly settled for a day before transferring cloudy juice to 300 \u0026amp; 500 litre barrels for a wild fermentation. A small portion of the wine is fermented and aged in lightly toasted new oak which adds further charm and complexity. Partial malolactic adds softness and richness to the palate.\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\u003eMATURATION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003eAfter maturing in oak for 11 months, the barrels were racked off lees to tank, lightly filtered and bottled in March 2026.\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 2025\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVariety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sauvignon Blanc\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ealcohol volume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.5\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 1.317kg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ewine style:\u003c\/strong\u003e White (Crisp Fresh)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Catalina Sounds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67782085804265,"sku":"SOWSVB25-BF-1","price":49.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2435\/3999\/files\/CatalinaSoundsSoundofWhiteBarrelFermentedSauvignonBlanc2025.jpg?v=1793092539","url":"https:\/\/thewineprovidore.com.au\/products\/catalina-sounds-sound-of-white-barrel-fermented-sauvignon-blanc-2025-13-5-750ml","provider":"The Wine Providore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
