The Nautilus Cuvee Marlborough Brut NV is pale straw in colour with a fine bead and creamy mousse. The wine has a distinctive nutty bouquet, which shows the richness of a Pinot Noir dominant blend and the benefits of extended maturation. An elegant finely structured wine in which the fruit flavours harmonise with biscuity, yeast derived complexities and crisp acidity to give a lingering dry finish
Nautilus wines were first released in 1986. Since then, the viticultural focus has been on Marlborough where four exceptional estate owned vineyards complement the small coterie of contract growers. The Nautilus Cuvee Marlborough non-vintage style is one of elegance and delicacy that at the same time shows complexity and fullness of flavour. A wine that marries traditional techniques with unique characters of Marlborough.
