$203.00

NEW ZEALAND WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

Straw yellow in colour with pale lime hues, the first swirl brings charming aromas of salted caramel, stone fruit, buttered toast and subtle spices. The flavours are fresh and lively, immediately followed by beautifully soft fruit and creamy texture in the mid-palate. A citric line carries the flavours to a brilliantly long and lingering finish.

Fruit from both vineyards were harvested 10 days apart on the 15th and 25th of March 2022. A hands-off approach is taken and juice is settled for a day without any additions before transferring to a large old-oak cuve for Ra Nui and smaller French oak puncheons for Sound of White. All oak is either 2nd or 3rd fill or older, meaning no new oak, allowing a really pure and unique expression of Chardonnay from Marlborough and Catalina Sounds. This wine is vegan friendly.

About Catalina Sounds Wines

Our journey started 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.

We have evolved from our humble origins, building a reputation for producing premium Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc throughout the world. We are now pushing into new varieties such as Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris. We also produce a single vineyard range from our estate vineyard, Sound of White, as well as a sister brand Crowded House.
