Nautilus Sauvignon Blanc 2024

This leaps from the glass with a vibrant meld of passionfruit, lemongrass, green pineapple, yellow grapefruit, wet stone and a subtle edge of blackcurrant bud. It holds classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc character, but with precision and clarity rather than a loose ‘fruit salad’ profile. The palate delivers juicy citrus tension and ample texture, echoing the nose: lemon juice and white grapefruit intermingle with passionfruit, lemongrass, green pineapple and blackcurrant, all underpinned by a stony mineral thread through the back. The acidity is bright and pithy, driving freshness and length.  Defined, energetic and varietally true—this is a lovely expression with real value at $24.
