Nautilus Estate Marlborough Cuvee Brut NV

Winemaking
Crafted using the méthode traditionnelle, this sparkling wine blends Chardonnay and Pinot Noir sourced from select Marlborough vineyards. It undergoes secondary fermentation in bottle and is aged on lees for over 36 months, developing complexity, creaminess, and a fine, persistent mousse.

Bouquet
Refined and aromatic with notes of lemon zest, green apple, and freshly baked brioche. Hints of almond, white flowers, and a touch of mineral lift add depth and poise.

Palate
Dry, elegant, and beautifully balanced. Layers of citrus and stone fruit are complemented by toasted pastry, hazelnut, and a creamy mid-palate. The finish is crisp, long, and structured, with lively acidity and a silky mousse.

Food Pairing
Ideal with oysters, cured salmon, or creamy cheeses. Also pairs beautifully with chicken liver pâté, tempura prawns, or savoury tarts. A stylish choice for aperitif hour or refined occasions.

Interesting Fact
Nautilus Estate was one of the first New Zealand wineries to fully commit to méthode traditionnelle sparkling, with a dedicated cuvée room and long lees ageing. Their Cuvée Brut consistently rivals Champagne in elegance, while showcasing Marlborough’s vibrant freshness.
