Lemongrass, ripe grapefruit, and fresh blackcurrant bud aromas lead, followed by lime zest and green apple on the palate. The wine is dry and crisp with lively acidity and a strong textural component finishing cleanly.
Grapes are harvested at night or in the cool of the morning and immediately crushed and pressed. Fermentation is carried out at cool temperatures in stainless-steel tanks, and the wine rests on lees for several months before bottling.
Produced by Nautilus Estate, a family-owned winery founded in 1985 in Marlborough, New Zealand. Fruit comes from multiple sites with free-draining, stony soils.
