A Singular
Vision

Our journey started in 2005 with a singular vision to produce the best wines in Marlborough. Named after the majestic Catalina flying boats and the iconic Marlborough Sounds at our doorstep, Catalina Sounds produces wines that are true to the region and our vineyard sites while building an extra textural dimension –wines that are uniquely Catalina Sounds.

We have evolved from our humble origins, building a reputation for producing premium Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc throughout the world. We are now pushing into new varieties such as Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris. We also produce a single vineyard range from our estate vineyard, Sound of White, as well as a sister brand Crowded House.

The name Catalina Sounds evolved…

…from the majestic Catalina flying boats that played a vital role across the South Pacific during and after World War II. New Zealand’s famous and largest warbird, the Catalina is a rare sight, in fact there are only a handful of these beautiful, iconic planes left in the world today. If you look closely to our label, you may just spot the reflection of the Catalina soaring across the Sounds.

Appellation Marlborough Wine & Sustainable Wine Growing New Zealand

Accredited with Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand, a core element of our winemaking and viticultural philosophy is protecting, regenerating and planning for a sustainable future.

In recent years, Appellation Marlborough Wine (AMW) certification has become an integral piece of our vision to produce the best wines of Marlborough. We see AMW as the benchmark for protecting provenance and a signifier of integrity and quality as we look toward the future of Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough in a supply constrained market.
