Taut, crisp and dry with a saline seam surrounding white peach and orchard citrus flavours framed by a backbone of acidity and salivating mouthfeel, an aperitif style. Well made, balanced and lengthy with best drinking from day of purchase through 2030\" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Feb 2026\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/9211\/5773\/files\/Scale_-_Dry.png?v=1773371321\" alt=\"Scale_-_Dry\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFragrant and vibrant, the 2025 Nautilus Albariño opens with aromas of white peach, mandarin zest, and a hint of sea spray. The palate is bright and expressive, delivering juicy stonefruit flavours with a touch of salinity and fine texture. Crisp acidity drives a long, zesty finish, capturing the variety’s signature freshness and energy. Delicious upon release, this wine will improve for 3-5 years post vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2025 growing season began with a few cool spring mornings, but conditions soon turned ideal. A warm, dry summer allowed for steady ripening, and a light rain before harvest gave the vines a welcome refresh. Albariño thrived in these conditions, with bunch weights holding strong right through to harvest, resulting in vibrant, flavour-packed fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePicked in excellent condition, the Albariño is already showing great promise — bright acidity, lovely texture, and pure varietal expression. We’re excited about how this vintage is shaping up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fruit was machine picked, using a destemming harvester and soaked for a period on skins, before pressing. The racked and clarified juice was then cool fermented in a stainless steel tank using an aromatic yeast. A short period of maturation on yeast lees followed before bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFood Pairing: Pancetta-wrapped Scallops with Saffron and Herb Risotto.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Negociants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51692502876477,"sku":"NAUALBA","price":179.94,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/9211\/5773\/files\/26013-1.jpg?v=1744063460","url":"https:\/\/www.blackmarket.co.nz\/products\/nautilus-estate-marlborough-albarino-2025","provider":"Black Market","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
