PERFECT POUR
The aim at Nautilus Estate has always been to craft a Sauvignon Blanc that delivers style, substance, natural restraint, and elegance. ‘I love this wine’s calmness and gentle, melodic release of flavour. It is smooth, holistically refreshing and nicely weighted, and while it doesn't feel the need to make a fuss on the palate, there is a quiet composure and elegance here that is subtle and impressive. A stony minerality here does a lot of the work behind the scenes, allowing the citrus notes to glide unimpeded across the palate,' says Matthew Jukes, November 2023. Nautilus Estate wines are certified Sustainable New Zealand Winegrowing, certified Appellation Marlborough Wine and vegan friendly. We invite you to explore this wine and the range at nautilusestate.com
