    This 2023 Catalina Sounds Sauvignon Blanc has vibrancy and clarity expressed in lemon grass, citrus peel and passionfruit aromatics. Balance on the palate is achieved with ripe fruit, creating weight and texture that matches perfectly with the minerality and crisp, bone-dry finish.

    2023 seemed like a dream; fruit matured at its own pace, meaning nothing was rushed. As always, all vineyards and sub-blocks are kept as separate as possible. The juice is lightly clarified and then fermented with mostly selected yeasts in stainless steel at low temperatures. A small portion of juice from our estate is fermented in large, seasoned oak to add texture and weight. The wines are left to rest on their lees after fermentation before blending and bottling in July each year. No animal products are used, creating a vegan friendly wine.

    Catalina Sounds

    Catalina sounds officially took flight in 2005 with a singular vision to produce the best wines in Marlborough. Named after the majestic Catalina flying boats and the iconic Marlborough Sounds at our doorstep, Catalina Sounds produces wines that are true to the region and our vineyard sites while building an extra textural dimension – wines that are uniquely Catalina Sounds. The name comes from the majestic Catalina flying boats that played a vital role across the South Pacific during and after World War II. New Zealand’s famous and largest warbird, the Catalina is a rare sight, in fact there are only a handful of these beautiful, iconic planes left in the world today. Get up close to the label, and you can just spot the reflection of the Catalina soaring across the Sounds.

    Evolved from their humble origins, Catalina Sounds has quickly reputation for producing premium Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc throughout the world. Now pushing into new varieties such as Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris. Their aim remains to produce a single vineyard range from their over achieving estate vineyard, 'Sound of White'.

    Catalina Sounds is accredited with Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand, a core element of their winemaking and viticultural philosophy is protecting, regenerating and planning for a sustainable future. In recent years, Appellation Marlborough Wine (AMW) certification has become an integral piece of their vision to produce the best wines of Marlborough. Catalina Sounds considers AMW as the benchmark for protecting provenance and a signifier of integrity and quality as they look toward the future of Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough in a supply constrained market.
