“A most subtle nose of tart, red but ripe cherry with a most lovely notion of autumnal oak leaf and delicious earthiness – clearly this has had some bottle age. This shows how the essential Pinot-ness shines through once the primary fruit holds back. The mid-palate brims with pristine, bight cherry and vivid freshness, fine tannins still have a firm crunch. The finish is pure, fresh, lasting and touching.”
Nautilus Estate is a small, family-owned wine estate in Marlborough, one of New Zealand’s premium wine-producing regions. The family understood the Marlborough region’s potential as early as 1985. Wines from this label are highly complex, because unique and modern viticultural practices are followed at the estate’s wineries. Several fruit parcels were blended to get the much-desired complexity in these wines. The winery is known for its state-of-the-art winery with sophisticated tools and techniques.
