Catalina Sounds Pinot Gris 2025

Product Description:
Bright aromatics and vibrant coastal freshness define the Catalina Sounds Pinot Gris 2025, a beautifully expressive Marlborough white wine crafted to highlight purity, texture and drinkability. Produced from select vineyard parcels across Marlborough’s cooler southern valleys, the wine reflects the strong maritime influence and extended sunshine hours that make the region ideal for aromatic varieties. The 2025 vintage delivered excellent ripening conditions, allowing the fruit to develop generous flavour concentration while retaining crisp natural acidity and freshness. Catalina Sounds is known for producing wines with clarity and balance, and this Pinot Gris continues that elegant house style.

In the glass the wine is fragrant and lively, opening with aromas of ripe pear, apple and white peach accented by subtle floral notes and spice. The palate is soft and textural, combining juicy orchard fruit with refreshing acidity and a gentle mineral edge. Careful handling in the winery preserves aromatic purity while adding subtle complexity and mouthfeel. The wine’s balance between fruit richness and freshness makes it highly versatile at the table while remaining approachable and vibrant in its youth. A clean, lightly savoury finish provides additional refinement and persistence. This Pinot Gris pairs beautifully with seafood, roast chicken, creamy pasta dishes or lightly spiced Asian cuisine.
