Nautilus Chardonnay 2024

Nautilus Chardonnay 2024

• Region: Marlborough
• Sub-Region: Renwick / Southern Valleys

Vineyard Grown on several premium Marlborough sites, primarily focusing on the Renwick area. These vineyards feature diverse soil types from stony riverbeds to older clay loams, allowing for a blend that captures a complete representative profile of the region's Chardonnay potential.

Wine A consistently refined and balanced Marlborough classic. The 2024 vintage offers aromas of lemon curd and white blossom, with a palate that is both textural and high-toned. Barrel fermentation in French oak provides a subtle toasted nuttiness, while maintaining a vibrant, zesty finish.
