About This Wine

The 2020 vintage was on the cooler end which ended up being lucky as this was mostly picked before Covid lockdown ensued.  Fruit for this wine is mostly from Nautilus's own Renwick vineyard with a small parcel of Dijon clone 95 from the Greer's vineyard.

Grapes were handpicked and pressed to barrel without settling. Fermented using wild yeast in French oak barriques (20% of which was new). A brief lees stirring adds extra texture to the gorgeous NZ acidity.

The true maritime wine region of Aotearoa gained international claim for its Sauvignon Blanc back in the 80's. Creating exceptionally fragrant savvy's were the specialty, now the best winemakers seek more wild flavours a little more true to their terroir. Pinot Noir has found a more appropriate home in the Southern Valleys, whilst Chardonnay and Riesling are seen throughout the region again with that marked perfume and acidity.
