Description
Product Description:Textural and expressive Pinot Gris from Marlborough’s valleys. Catalina Sounds Pinot Gris 2024 captures the purity of Marlborough fruit with a layered style that speaks of both place and craft. Sourced from select vineyard sites, this release reflects the estate’s ongoing evolution beyond Sauvignon Blanc, highlighting the versatility of the region and the care given in vineyard and cellar. The palate shows a balance of ripe fruit richness with a fine mineral thread. Partial sweetness is carried by texture rather than weight, giving a wine that is generous without excess. This Pinot Gris sits comfortably at the table, equally at ease with spice-driven dishes, washed rind cheeses, or simple seasonal fare. It is a wine that reinforces Catalina Sounds’ commitment to producing honest, site-driven expressions with an added dimension of texture.
