"A delicious albariño with classic citrus/mandarin/orange flavours. A kiss of sweetness is perfectly balanced by fruity, mouth-watering acidity that leaves a refreshing finish. Memorable wine that makes perfect summer drinking." (Bob Campbell MW)

The mathematically perfect spiral of the Nautilus shell has been admired since ancient Greek times…and in more recent times by wine lovers in NZ and around the world!

Don’t take our word for it. This is the Nautilus Estate Albarino from Marlborough and it’s up there with the best NZ examples of the style here in Aotearoa! Albariño (pronounced al-bar-een-yoh) is widely planted in Spain and Portugal but has become increasingly popular in the fridges of Kiwi wine guzzlers.

A Gold medal winner at the NZ International Wine show for the second year running! And also scoring 94/100 with Master of Wine Bob Campbell who was clearly loving this one. “A delicious albariño with classic citrus/mandarin/orange flavours. A kiss of sweetness is perfectly balanced by fruity, mouth-watering acidity that leaves a refreshing finish. Memorable wine that makes perfect summer drinking.”

First launched in 1985 as a premium, family owned NZ winery. These days Nautilus are part of a bigger (and very prestigious) family – The Family of Twelve.
