Catalina Sounds Marlborough Chardonnay 2022

Tasting Notes:  Ripe pineapple, lemon blossomand subtle vanilla; lush, rounded and generous with a hint of butterscotch on the finish.  With subtle complexity, almond, citrus and white peach aromas are underpinned by a ‘mineral’ crushed gravel note. The palate is seamless with rich mid-palate texture from lees contact and refreshing, fine acidity that leaves a long-lasting, impressive finish.

Ready to drink from late 2023 through 2028.

REVIEWED:

Cameron Douglas MS, 92 Points Premium A very enticing bouquet of fresh raw cashew nut and yellow peach, a layer of apricots and fresh red-skinned apple then spices from the barrel. A satin creamy texture touches the palate first with a firm acid line for freshness and fine tannins from wood adding texture and length. A touch of butterscotch adds accents to the flavours. Balanced, well made and ready to drink from late 2023 through 2028.
