The natural beauty of the Nautilus shell has inspired our expressive, balanced, precisely crafted wines since 1985, the early days of Marlborough winegrowing. Back then there were only 80 NZ wineries. Today there are nearly 700. Yet we remain small, family-owned, and committed to the stunningly beautiful Marlborough region.
Nautilus Sauvignon is sourced from free-draining stony soils, giving low cropping, low vigour, early ripening vines, great flavour development every year and serious, age-worthy wines. A blend of sites adds layers of complexity.
Still very young, the latest Sauvignon from this consistent producer takes its time opening, but when it does it offers aromas of lime and guava underpinned by white spice and snow peas. The zesty palate is chalky in texture with a lengthy lime and dried herb finish. Another six months in the bottle should settle this into a really lovely drop. Christina Pickard, 5/1/2022.
