The name Catalina Sounds is inspired by the famous PBY Catalina aircraft, used in the South Pacific during World War II. This name nods to exploration, innovation, and resilience—values that the vineyard's winemakers hold dear in their work. Founded by two passionate vintners who honed their craft in some of the world’s best vineyards, including the renowned Domaine de Montille in Burgundy, their dream is to produce the finest wines from Marlborough, an incredible region in New Zealand.

A Journey Through Global Vineyards

The winemakers behind Catalina Sounds have learned the art of winemaking in prestigious vineyards around the globe. Their experience at Domaine de Montille in France, known for its exceptional Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, played a key role in shaping their unique style. Working in renowned areas like Meursault taught them precision, patience, and respect for the land. Upon returning to New Zealand, they applied these skills to Marlborough, determined to uncover the full potential of this wine region.

Marlborough: The Paradise for Fresh and Fruity Wines

Located in the northern part of the South Island, Marlborough is the star of New Zealand's wine regions. With its sunny climate, cool nights, and mineral-rich soils, the region is perfect for producing fresh and fruity wines. Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir thrive here, resulting in fresh, aromatic white wines and light, characterful reds.

Marlborough’s Sauvignon Blanc is globally recognized for its tropical fruit and citrus aromas and its vibrant acidity. Meanwhile, Pinot Noir produces fruity red wines with subtle spices and a complexity that develops over time.

Sustainable Wines That Respect Nature

Catalina Sounds doesn’t just create exceptional wines; they also commit to environmental stewardship. The vineyard practices sustainable viticulture and holds certifications that acknowledge their efforts to preserve natural resources, use responsible farming practices, and protect local biodiversity. Their philosophy is to minimize interventions in the cellar, allowing the terroir of Marlborough to express itself naturally in every bottle. The result? Authentic wines crafted sustainably and respectfully for the environment.
