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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Bright and expressive\u003cbr\u003eAromas of dark cherry, plum and raspberry layered with dried herbs, spice and subtle earthy notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Silken and balanced\u003cbr\u003eMedium-bodied with flavours of red and dark berries, fine tannins and fresh acidity, supported by a smooth, velvety texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Long and refined\u003cbr\u003eA persistent finish with soft tannins, fresh acidity and lingering fruit and spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Great colour, concentration and bouquet of dark cherry and plum with a frame of dried herbs a baking spics of clove and vanilla. There’s a wood smoke and soil-soil quality layering in complexity and lots of charm. Fleshy, fruity, salivating and dry on the palate. Flavours of dark plums and raspberry are the focus with firm polished tannins and strong acid line for length and freshness. Well made with best drinking from 2026 through 2032+.” — Cameron Douglas MS, 93 points\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiner Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStyle – Red Wine\u003cbr\u003eVarietal – Pinot Noir\u003cbr\u003eCountry – New Zealand\u003cbr\u003eRegion – Marlborough\u003cbr\u003eVintage – 2024\u003cbr\u003eBottle Size – 750ml\u003cbr\u003eABV – 13.5%\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Catalina Sounds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42684424159319,"sku":"CAT-PN-24","price":28.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/3201ba7d-583a-499c-ab41-b141e2c36a37.png?v=1775795086","url":"https:\/\/kentstreetcellars.com.au\/products\/catalina-sounds-pinot-noir-2024","provider":"Kent Street Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
