Catalina Sounds Chardonnay 2024 by Catalina Sounds (Marlborough, New Zealand) greets the glass with lemon-blossom and baked peach aromas, complemented by gentle oak spice and soft vanilla undertones. On the palate it unfolds into a silky, rounded expression of ripe stone fruit, think white peach and pear – layered atop a core of citrus brightness and subtle lees-driven creaminess. A refined mineral thread and well-balanced acidity keep the wine fresh and food-friendly, while its mid-palate weight adds a satisfying richness without heaviness.

Critically, the 2024 receives 90 points from Cameron Douglas MS, who praises its “sweet grapefruit and apple” notes, “fresh and roasted peaches” and a “fine lees mouthfeel.”

About Catalina Sounds Wines

Our journey started in 2005 with a singular vision to produce the best wines in Marlborough. Named after the majestic Catalina flying boats and the iconic Marlborough Sounds at our doorstep, Catalina Sounds produces wines that are true to the region and our vineyard sites while building an extra textural dimension –wines that are uniquely Catalina Sounds.

We have evolved from our humble origins, building a reputation for producing premium Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc throughout the world. We are now pushing into new varieties such as Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris. We also produce a single vineyard range from our estate vineyard, Sound of White, as well as a sister brand Crowded House.

A complete wine with window of drinking available today and through 2029. Aromas and flavours of sweet grapefruit and apple, a mix of fresh and roasted peaches, then a leesy spice quality. A wine of texture too with a backbone of acidity and fine lees mouthfeel. Well made with a medium intensity, complexity and length. Perhaps best enjoyed with food, especially a seafood chowder pie.
