Catalina Sounds Sauvignon Blanc 2023 Marlborough – 12 Bottles

WINERY INFORMATION The Marlborough wine region is New Zealand’s largest wine-growing district. It enjoys enviable international prominence for crafting the best Sauvignon Blanc in the world, aside from making extremely good Riesling, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wines. This area is blessed with long sunny days, cool nights, low autumn rains and free draining soils. This is where you can find the Catalina Sounds vineyard. Its winemaker, Peter Jackson, works with the philosophy: to source outstanding fruit from exceptional vineyard sites, thus enabling Catalina Sounds to produce wines that best express the vibrant fruit flavours for which Marlborough is known. TASTING NOTES This Sauvignon Blanc is pale straw in colour. The nose is very classic and refined, a tasty and robust combination of herbal notes and passion fruit aromas with citrus, stone fruits, fresh lime and minerals at the core. Medium-bodied and complex, the palate is softly introduced to a gracefully balanced passionfruit flavour. The subtle acids carry the fruit flavour to a long, lingering finish with salty tones and a gentle phenolic grip. This splendid wine pairs well with fresh seafood, summer salads and grilled vegetables.
