Since 2005 Catalina Sounds has had a singular vision to produce the best wines in Marlborough. Named after the majestic Catalina flying boats that once flew across the vast Marlborough Sounds. Catalina Sounds produce wines that are unique with minimum intervention and are true to their vineyard sites while capturing the best of the region. The Sound of White and Catalina Sounds wines are accredited with Appellation Marlborough Wine, which was introduced to provide assurance to the wine trade and wine lovers that the wine been made from 100% Marlborough grapes, grown sustainably in Marlborough and bottled in New Zealand. Appellation Marlborough Wine (AMW) certification is an integral piece of the vision of Catalina Sounds, to produce the best wines of Marlborough and provides a benchmark for protecting provenance and a signifier of integrity and quality. Cataline sounds wines are certified "Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand". This means that their wines are made from grapes grown in 100% SWNZ-certified vineyards and produced in 100% SWNZ-certified winemaking facilities. To be SWNZ certified, all members must complete annual submissions and undergo regular on-site audits conducted by an independent verification company. Annual submissions are made through an online questionnaire covering off impacts across the industry's six focus areas, which are Soil, Water, Plant Protection, Waste, People and more recently Climate Change. Vineyard members must also submit a full spray diary annually, which documents all agrichemical applications made to the vineyard that season. Spray diaries are processed for compliance to ensure that only approved products have been used and specific rules of use have been adhered to. New Zealand is at the forefront of Sustainability in wine with a roadmap to Net Zero by 2050 in place.

This 100% Sauvignon Blanc is certified with Appellation Marlborough Wine. Which means it has been made from 100% Marlborough grapes, grown sustainably in Marlborough and bottled in New Zealand.

After the hard work is done in the vineyard, the ripe fruit is harvested at just the right time. Grapes from individual vineyards and blocks were kept as separate as possible in the winery. The juice is split quickly from the skins and lightly clarified before a low-and-slow fermentation. Post-ferment the wines is left on yeast lees for a touch of added texture before blending and bottling. No animal products are used, creating a vegan friendly wine.

Terrific with fresh seafood, summer salads and grilled vegetables.
