Tasting Notes
Aroma
A vibrant Pinot Noir with black cherry, savoury herbs
and baking spices.
Palate
The palate explores both elegance
and power that creates real appeal. Finely powdered
tannins provide welcome structure and length to the ripe
mid-palate fruit.
Vinification
Small parcels of fruit were harvested over 14 days by
both hand and machine. The handpicked fruit was
mostly destemmed, with a small percentage of whole
bunches across several fermenters.
Exceptional fruit meant wild yeasts completed the
fermentation, combined with gentle handling in the
winery the result is both power and elegance.
Batches spent a minimum of 21 days on skins before
draining and pressing. The wine is matured in French
oak (12% new) for 11 months before selected batches
are blended in February and bottled in March prior to
the next harvest. This wine is vegan and carnivore
friendly and made without any fining.
Cellaring Potential
This wine can be enjoyed now and will continue to develop positively over the next 5+ years.
Vintage Notes
The 2023 vintage was late to start due to wetter weather
and cooler temperatures up until December. Fine, warm
weather from January through harvest kept fruit pristine
and created suitable conditions for extra hangtime on
the vine, which provided increased flavour
concentration, exceptional varietal purity and laid the
groundwork for exceptional Pinot Noir.
Food Matching
Crispy duck pancakes, grilled quail, pulled pork, seared
salmon with barbecued beetroot.
Region Notes
The 2023 Catalina Sounds Pinot Noir is sourced
exclusively from two vineyard sites – our estate vineyard
Sound of White and a dedicated grower vineyard.
These are both situated in the sought-after Southern
Valleys sub-district where the inherent soils, comprised
of clay loams and fine gravels create wines with depth
and finesse. The blocks vary in age with a range of
clones and yields are restricted to ensure quality is the
main driver over volume.
