DESCRIPTION
Established in 2005, Catalina Sounds set out to produce some of Marlborough’s finest white wines, in the very heart of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc country. Their flagship vineyard lies in the Waihopai Valley, in the north of the South Island, where the cool climate and long hours of sunshine deliver perfect aromatic ripeness while preserving natural, vibrant acidity.
Paying tribute to the Catalina, the legendary South Pacific seaplane, this wine charms with notes of lemongrass, citrus, passion fruit, and a subtle herbal touch. The palate is lively and saline, with a crystalline finish that lingers beautifully.
Praised by critics (95 pts Bob Campbell & Wine Orbit) and offering excellent value, this expressive white wine is perfect as an aperitif or paired with oysters, ceviche, grilled fish, or summer salads.

région
Marlborough
New Zealand
Marlborough is by far New Zealand’s most important wine region. Located at the northeastern tip of the South Island, this dry, sunny region is home to over 500 wineries and produces nearly 75% of New Zealand’s wine. Warm days, cool nights, and well-drained alluvial soils create ideal conditions for aromatic wines with crisp acidity.
It is here that the Marlborough style of Sauvignon Blanc was born, a style that has taken the world by storm: vibrant, intensely fruity, with herbal notes and a saline minerality. While Sauvignon Blanc dominates, Marlborough also produces excellent Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Riesling, cementing its reputation as New Zealand’s international wine showcase.
Recommended for you:
I was really surprised by the exotic fruit notes, especially passion fruit—something I had never tasted before. I recommend this wine with fresh fish, like ceviche, or other seafood.
