92/100 | Cameron Douglas MS
Nautilus has developed a reputation as one of the finest Marlboroughs producers. Nautilus Chardonnay never fails to impress, powerful aromas showing citrus and white peach with a touch of nutty complexes that follow through onto the palate with good depth and a long finish. A tight minerality gives this wine elegance and is truly one to impress.
The 2018 Nautilus Chardonnay is straw coloured with a lifted nose of attractive primary fruit aromas. The palate displays fresh nectarine and almond flavours along with a hint of nutty complexity from natural ferments. The palate has good depth and concentration with a refreshing long finish.
Cameron Douglas MS writes "A well crafted example of Marlborough Chardonnay with aromas of yellow and white orchard fruits, dry stone mineral moments and sweet cashew oak. Dry on the palate, medium+ weight, calm, balanced and well made. Flavours of white fleshed fruits and lemon, pear and soft vanilla oak layers"
