Tasting Notes
Aroma
The aromatics show almonds, fresh cream, white spices
and red apple skin.
Palate
On the palate it’s all about youthful
texture, saline minerality and stone fruit. A wine that
should be enjoyed with food with rich flavours in its
youth.
Vinification
The winemaking for Chardonnay always takes a
minimal approach and all batches are handled the
same. Fruit is pressed and the free run and hard
pressing portions separated. The juice is minimally
settled for 24 hours before racking and going to either
large format cuve, or 500 litre puncheons that are
two, three and four years old. After a long, slow
fermentation the wines rest on their lees for 10
months until the individual components are blended,
lightly fined and filtered prior to harvest in March the
following year. The wine is vegan friendly.
Cellaring Potential
Enjoy in its youth and through until 2028.
Vintage Notes
2024 was a truly remarkable growing season that was
marked by dry, warm weather. A significant late season
frost and a cooler start to flowering in December created
low yields across much of the region and all varietals.
With no disease pressure, and the driest summer in
Marlborough for over 90 years the two parcels of
Chardonnay for Catalina Sounds was harvested on the
15th and 23rd of March.
Food Matching
A range of seafood dishes, hard cheeses and
creamy pasta and chicken dishes.
