Catalina Sounds Marlborough Pinot Gris 2025

Description

Apple, Dry, Nougat

Ripe nashi pear, rose apple, white nougat and vanilla bean aromatics. The wine is plush, fleshy and juicy, with ripe mid-palate fruit and a crisp racy finish that appears dry but is balanced with a little residual sugar. Enjoy over the next 3+ years when cellared correctly.

The fruit is sourced from two vineyards in the Omaka and Waihopai Valleys which is part of the cooler and drier Southern Valleys. 60% of the fruit comes from our Sound of White Vineyard in the Waihopai Valley, where ripe fruit and concentration creates the core of our Pinot Gris. The remaining 40% comes from a grower vineyard, Fairhall Downs in the Omaka valley, creating vibrancy and freshness.

Food Pairing: Pinot Gris pairs well with spicy dishes like Chinese, Indian and Mexican with its sweetness, body and spicy aromas. It can also pair well with washed-rind cheeses, lighter chicken dishes and even desserts like apple pie and nutty cakes.
