The 2023 vintage was late to start due to a wet season early on. Fine weather from January onwards meant extra hangtime on the vine, which provided increased flavour concentration, exceptional varietal purity and laid the groundwork for some brilliant wines.
I love this wine for its layers, aromatically and texturally. Crushed passionfruit seed, rock melon, fresh cream, vanilla and nougat after each swirl. At the first taste, the wine is vibrant with ripe white flesh fruit, excellent weight and a powdered texture. The finish is long and flavoursome, lingering long enough to create space before the next sip.
Sound of White Vineyard, Waihopai Valley, Marlborough.
Our Sound of White vineyard is elevated above sea level, cooler and drier, and the fruit harvested later than other parts of the region. This is integral in creating wines that are uniquely Catalina Sounds and solely Sound of White. Certified with Sustainable Winegrowers New Zealand.
