Catalina Sounds Pinot Gris 2025 from Catalina Sounds in Marlborough is a vibrant, expressive gris that leans into texture and spice as much as juicy fruit, making it a seriously handy white for mid‑week and long lunches alike.

This Catalina Sounds Pinot Gris 2025 style is beautifully scented with ripe pear, white peach, caramelised apple, sweet spice and a touch of vanilla pod from seasoned oak, all sitting over gentle floral notes. The palate is richly flavoured yet balanced, with pear and citrus, a hint of spice, generous flavour concentration and crisp natural acidity keeping things fresh rather than fat.

Food‑wise, it’s magic with pork belly, roast chicken, lightly spiced Asian dishes, creamy pastas or soft washed‑rind cheeses – anywhere you want a white with a bit more flavour, texture and spice but still plenty of refreshing lift.
