Catalina Sounds Sound of White Classic Sauvignon Blanc 2024

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. As an average our estate and grower blocks were 25-30% down on average, with a surprising number of Sauvignon vineyards yielding single digits. Pristinely clean fruit on the vine and smaller than usual bunches had us quietly brimming with excitement. With no disease pressure, and the driest summer in Marlborough for over 90 years harvest started on the 13th of March and was more of a sprint than a marathon, with the last block coming in on the 30th of March. The earliest and quickest harvest in many years.
