Nautilus Estate Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2024

Imagine how mind blowing it must have been when the first punchy, but beautifully balanced, Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc hit the international scene in the 1980s. This one gives you a hint. It has all the Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc classic aromas whilst retaining elegance. There’s gooseberry and passionfruit, white peaches, mandarin zest, jasmine blossom and soft, green grass. In your mouth it’s all about the freshness. Bright acidity is balanced by a tiny pinch of sweetness. The vibrant fruit flavours move into more citrus, with just a hint of trademark herbaceous notes, and a touch of salinity.  Beautiful concentration is highlighted by the fine citrus pith texture and remarkable length.
