Tasting Notes
Aroma
Beautifully aromatic, scented with orange blossom,
sweet herbs and ripe tangelo.
Palate
The palate is bright and
fresh with juicy citrus, crushed oyster shell and ripe
botanicals. With crisp, fresh structure and ripe fruit
this is a classic style of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc
with typical Catalina Sounds restraint.
Vinification
Individual blocks were harvested by machine over 4
weeks, commencing on the 13th of March. Fruit is
transported straight to the winery, gently pressed over
2.5 hours and cold settled. After 2-3 days clear juice
is racked and fermented in stainless steel tanks with
a selected yeast. A small portion is fermented in
older, large format oak, mostly with indigenous yeast.
The components are left on lees without SO2 for as
long as possible, then blended in late June for
bottling in July. This wine is vegan friendly.
Cellaring Potential
Enjoy over the next three years or more when cellared
correctly.
Vintage Notes
The 2025 season got off to an enthusiastic early start.
October and November were unseasonably warm, with
temperatures reaching 30 degrees celsius, far higher
than expected for the time of year. December then
delivered cool, grey and drizzly weather slowing
development on the vine. While the weather was
unseasonal, so were the overly abundant yields across
Marlborough!
Fruit thinning was carried out across every single block
and every single vine for both owned and grower
vineyards to give fruit the best chance to ripen without
the pressure of disease. Yield reduction really paid
dividends when it came to scoring and grading the
wines prior to blending with superb balance across all
components.
Food Matching
A range of seafood dishes, hard cheeses, and crisp
green salads with fresh herbs and olive oil.
Region Notes
Fruit was sourced from our estate and grower
vineyards across the Southern Valleys and central
Wairau Plains, with the majority coming from the
Southern Valleys. The soil types in these areas vary
and create distinct nuances in the wines. The central
Wairau Plain is old riverbed, comprised of free
draining, alluvial soils, often with large river stones,
then move south into the foothills of Blenheim where
older and denser clay loams prevail.
