Description
Nautilus Estate Albarino, Marlborough, New Zealand, 2024
Grape: 100% Albarino, certified sustainable growing, machine picked/destemmed, fermented in stainless steel tanks with a short lees ageing.
Producer Tasting Note:
On the nose, this single vineyard wine shows fragrant white peaches, botanical spices and hints of apricots. The palate shows ripe fruits, is flavoursome and mouth-filling with a refreshing zingy finish
Critics' Tasting Notes:
"Aromas of yellow apples, lemons and fresh flowers. The medium-bodied palate has focused acidity, giving notes of lime sherbet, grapefruit and honeydew melon. Nicely constructed with an underlying tension. Drink or hold. Screw cap." James Suckling, November 2024
"This classy, single-vineyard wine is fermented and matured on its yeast lees in stainless steel tanks. Bright, light yellow/green, it is mouth-filling and very vigorous, with strong, peachy, spicy, slightly gingery flavours and an almost dry, appetisingly crisp finish. Drink now or cellar."
4.5 Stars, Michael Cooper, NZ Listener, March 2024
Also awarded "Gold", New Zealand International Wine Show, 2024
Nautilus Estate was established by the Australian Hill-Smith family in 1985 when there were only 80 wineries in the whole of New Zealand. This is a limited edition, single vineyard wine. Albariño, one of the most distinctive varieties from Spain, is a recent introduction to the pristine wine growing region of Marlborough.
Food Match: Drink with fish & seafood dishes, particularly pancetta-wrapped scallops with saffron and herb risotto.
