Sound of White Sauvignon Blanc

Sound of White Sauvignon Blanc

A riper, full-bodied style of Sauvignon Blanc, from the Sound of White vineyard on Catalina Sounds' Waihopai Valley estate. The Waihopai Valley is a broad, breezy wide valley - one of the drier valleys in Marlborough. Indeed, Waihopai means 'hole in the sky' as it rains there much less.

Tasting notes

The wine shows reserved aromas of ripe citrus peel, stone fruit, lanolin, and flint. The palate is ripe, creamy and textural with nectarine and passionfruit flavours and complexity from savoury lees characters. Mouthwatering acidity supports the wine to give it definition, length, and flavour.

Wine making

The Sound of White vineyard on Catalina Sounds Waihopai estate has silty, clay and loam soils which give structure and density. Low yields are maintained helping achieve clean, ripe, concentrated flavours in the fruit. The fruit is hand harvested and gently whole cluster pressed. After 24 hours at an ambient temperature the very cloudy juice is run to 500 L French oak barrels where a completely wild, indigenous fermentation takes place. This slow ferment over several months is monitored and tasted regularly, without stirring or disturbing. The barrels are racked and the wine stabilised and lightly filtered, before being bottled.

Food pairing

Smoked or grilled fish, salmon rillette and goat cheeses, creamy pasta and pesto dishes.
