100% Marlborough with 78% from the Southern Valleys and 22% from Ward. Both vineyards are clay based hillside blocks with scattered clonal planting. As always, winemaking was very hands o# for this wine. Hand picked fruit was destemmed and transferred to open top fermenters for at least a 5 day cold soak. When signs of natural fermentation were obvious, the tanks were warmed, allowing fermentation to get into full swing. The ferments were plunged a maximum of twice daily until dry, before an extended maceration on skins for up to 7 days. Once pressed, the wines were run to French oak barriques (15% new) for natural malolactic fermentation and maturation for a total of 10 months. The wine was blended in late January 2018 before bottling in February 2018.

Catalina Sounds Pinot Noir, Marlborough has a appealing mix of red and dark berry fruits, spice and underlying savoury and earthy interest. Elegant, with lovely raspberry and cherry flavours. Bright, quiety firm wild strawberry fruit with a gently persistent acidity make for a refreshing, aromatic Pinot Noir.

Particularly well matched to earthy dishes like fresh pasta with seasonal field mushrooms and truffle oil or try duck and plum sauce.

Please note: All case wine orders can take between 7-10 days for delivery.
