The perfect summer white, this is a delicious citrus bomb. It has an alluring mix of tropical and citrus fruits interwoven with herbal notes and lively acidity. Subtle oak influences give it texture and fullness. A beautifully elegant wine, enjoy it with citrus-dressed salads, grilled vegetables, aromatic seafood dishes and your favourite Asian cuisine.

Vinification

Harvest took place between the 21st of March and 6th of April in 2015. The majority of fruit was machine harvested and the hazy juice inoculated with a variety of yeast cultures. 5% of the blend was fermented hot in 500L French oak puncheons and a further 5% of the blend fermented uninoculated in tank. Ferments were largely untouched, allowing the fruit and sites to express themselves as purely as possible. All parcels remained unsulphured on yeast lees for 6-8 weeks post fermentation to aid mouthfeel and build interesting yeast derived nuance into the wine.

Tightly structured and youthful, this richly scented wine was mostly handled in tanks; 5% of the blend was barrel-fermented. Mouthfilling, it is crisp, with intense, vibrant melon, lime and capsicum flavours, showing a touch of complexity, and excellent delicacy and length. 4.5 Stars

Pale colour, Straightforward offering of pippy passionfruit and lemongrass flavour. Upfront and accessible. Performs pretty well.

Catalina’s labels look posher than $20, and frankly the contents are probably posher too. 8.8/10
