Catalina Sounds Sound of White Chardonnay
An elegant white wine with a soft creamy texture. This wine tantalises the back palate with oak tannins and a consuming aftertaste. Wait a few years to flourish, otherwise drinking nicely now with white meat and plush seafood dishes. Catalina Sounds is a truly classic New Zealand Chardonnay! New Zealand's Catalina water planes (known as flying boats) played a vital role across the South Pacific during and after World War II. Catalina Sounds pays homage to this plane and the beauty of the Marlborough Sounds where it served and made its home. Peter Jackson's aspiration at Catalina Sounds is to continue producing excellent quality wines of beautiful fruit expression, interest, finesse and balance. Striving to create wines of great honesty and integrity that are true to their site, while attempting to incorporate complexity and longevity into the wines.

Onannon Mornington Pinot Gris
The fruit for this Onannon Mornington Pinot Gris was handpicked and pressed immediately into the tank. It is then settled overnight and racked to both tank and old barrels. A cool fermentation took place over two months during which the wine was stirred regularly to increase texture. Resulting in wine with great aromas such as ripe pears, mixed stone fruits with hints of cooked green apple in the background. It then leads to a full flavoured, textured palate with a delightful finish.
