Katarzyna Estate proudly presents CATHERINA Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough, New Zealand – wine, inspired by the place the Maori call Aotearoa “The Land of the Long White Cloud,” where nature and culture intertwine in harmony.
It is there that the vineyard is located, where the story of CATHERINA begins. It is neither the largest nor the oldest, but it carries the authentic spirit of New Zealand. The people who have managed it for three generations believe that wine should be a sincere reflection of the place it comes from.
The same concept stands behind the label of CATHERINA. It tells the story of the region in a way that transcends tradition and recreates the character of this extraordinary place. The design process begins with a careful study of the local culture and nature. Inspired by dozens of old sketches of local people, the label unites authentic elements into a contemporary, artistic interpretation.
The kiwi, New Zealand's national bird, symbolizes the uniqueness and humble elegance of the country. The silver fern embodies the life cycle and refined character of the wine, while the spiral Māori symbol Koru represents new life, growth, and harmony. The contrasting colors emphasize the fresh, intense, and modern approach to winemaking – orange like the sunset over the Pacific Ocean, green like the evergreen forests, and deep purple like the fertile vineyard soil.
The name Catherina derives from the Greek Αικατερίνη and carries the meaning 'pure', 'immaculate', or 'saintly,' established due to reverence for St. Catherine of Alexandria. Katarzyna is the Polish form of the name Catherina, while the Bulgarian is Ekaterina, and they all share the same deep meaning. Catherina is often associated with classical elegance, sophistication, and timeless femininity.
CATHERINA Sauvignon Blanc impresses with a fresh and expressive aromatic profile, dominated by tropical fruit and citrus nuances. The wine is energetic, lively, and balanced, with refreshing acidity and a long, clean finish, like summer in Marlborough.
CATHERINA is not just drunk, it is experienced. It is a tribute to the wild beauty of New Zealand, dressed in a label that is not afraid to be different and remarkable. Every bottle of the new brand from Katarzyna Estate carries the hidden song of the kiwi, which is a quiet but profound call to adventure and the discovery of new horizons.
