Nautilus Pinot Noir hails from the Marlborough region of New Zealand, specifically utilizing fruit from the Southern Valleys. Founded in 1985, Nautilus Estate is a family owned winery under the stewardship of Robert Hill Smith, a fifth generation winemaker. The winery is dedicated to a philosophy of producing expressive, structured wines that marry perfectly with food, often utilizing state of the art facilities like the Southern Hemisphere's first dedicated Pinot Noir winery.

Wine Description

This Pinot Noir presents a vibrant and elegant sensory profile, opening with a wave of dark cherry and blackberry aromas underpinned by smoky, spicy, and floral highlights. On the palate, it is complex and layered, delivering flavors of red berry and sour cherry balanced by a finishing savouriness and fine, polished tannins. The wine is medium bodied with a seamless, textural mouthfeel and a long, satisfying finish of elegance and finesse.
