Nautilus Chardonnay 2022, Marlborough
There’s a wonderful signature of ripe citrus and melon laced with a combination of lees and barrel spices, fresh yellow peach and butter brioche. There’s a Brazil nut and baked custard quality as well adding breadth to the bouquet. Lovely weight and mouthfeel with primary impact from stone fruit and wood smoke then lees and other flavours, especially citrus, that reflect the bouquet. Fine tannins and medium+ acid line, a delicious wine ready to drink from late 2024 through 2029.
