Personalised Catalina Sounds Sound of White Classic Sauvignon Blanc 2020 13% 750ml
62% of the blend (both A and E blocks) are fermented slowly in stainless steel tanks to retain aromatics and varietal purity. 30%, from D block is fermented very warm in a large 5700 L French Oak cask, with indigenous yeast that adds complexity and interest to the wine. A small 8% portion is declassified from the barrel ferment programme and added for enhanced texture. The wines rested on lees for almost 10 months before blending and bottling prior to harvest in March 2021.
