Nautilus Estate Chardonnay 2023

Nautilus Estate Chardonnay 2023 is a refined and stylish Marlborough expression, uniting vibrant orchard fruit with subtle oak complexity and a fine mineral backbone. Elegant and layered, it offers immediate charm while holding the structure and depth to age gracefully, developing even greater richness and creaminess over time.

Tasting Notes:

Straw-coloured with lifted aromas of ripe nectarines, brioche, beeswax and toasted almonds, accented by a touch of flinty minerality. The palate shows stone fruit and honeysuckle, underpinned by nutty complexity from natural ferment. Concentrated yet poised, with a tight mineral structure and a refreshing, lingering finish, this Chardonnay is both sophisticated and approachable.
