Catalina Sounds Pinot Noir 2024 is a vibrant Marlborough expression that reflects the purity and freshness of New Zealand’s cool-climate winemaking. Sourced from estate vineyards in the Waihopai Valley, the wine benefits from free-draining soils, warm days, and cool nights that allow for slow ripening and excellent flavour retention. Catalina Sounds focuses on crafting wines that highlight varietal clarity and regional character, producing Pinot Noir that balances bright fruit with subtle savoury complexity.
The 2024 vintage shows excellent concentration and aromatic lift, shaped by a favourable growing season. Careful vineyard management and gentle extraction in the winery preserve the wine’s delicate structure and fruit purity. Maturation in oak adds texture and depth without dominating the profile. The result is a finely balanced Pinot Noir that combines vibrancy with elegance, offering immediate appeal while retaining structure for short- to mid-term cellaring.
