Nautilus Pinot Gris Marlborough 2024

Gold Medal Marlborough Wine Show 2024

There are many commercial styles of Pinot Gris available in NZ, but very few what we’d call ‘serious’, as it is a variety that requires a lot of attention in the vineyard and winery to get the best from it. Long considered as one of Marlborough’s top Gris, the 2024 Nautilus Pinot Gris is serious and delicious, with an extra layer of creamy sophistication and class than most NZ Pinot Gris.

"The 2024 Nautilus Pinot Gris is a pale straw colour wine, with vibrant aromas of ripe pears, ginger, honeysuckle, and delicate hints of spice. The medium-bodied palate displays concentrated fruit flavours, lemon shortcake, bright acidity, and a deliciously creamy texture with a dry finish. 

A small portion was fermented in old oak barrels to provide a textural element. After fermentation, the wine was kept in contact with the lees for four months. This classic technique enhances creaminess and integrates the flavours." Winery
