Catalina Sounds Sauvignon Blanc 2025 from Marlborough is a tangy, vibrant Kiwi Savvy that leans into preserved citrus, passionfruit and herbal snap, offering plenty of flavour without getting too shouty. It is exactly the kind of bright, textural style this producer is known for.

In the glass, Catalina Sounds Sauvignon Blanc 2025 shows pale straw with green flashes, aromatics of preserved lemon, lime zest, elderflower, passionfruit, guava, gooseberry and a touch of jalapeño and capsicum. The palate is punchy and layered, delivering juicy tropicals, citrus and green herbs over crunchy acidity, subtle salinity and a touch of texture that keeps it feeling serious as well as refreshing.

This Sauvignon Blanc is a natural with fresh oysters, prawns, grilled fish, Thai salads, green curries and goat’s cheese, where its acidity and herbaceous lift cut beautifully through richness. It is also a go‑to option for summer platters, crisp green salads and poolside drinking, showcasing why Catalina Sounds sits among Marlborough’s modern benchmarks.
