Nautilus Estate
Chardonnay 2023

The 2023 Nautilus Chardonnay is straw coloured with a lifted nose of ripe nectarines, brioche, beeswax and toasted almonds with a hint of flinty complexity. The palate displays stone fruits, honeysuckle, and a nutty complexity from the natural ferments. The palate has good depth and concentration with a refreshingly long finish. This wine has a tight mineral structure and will develop a creamy texture as it matures.

Best Enjoyed With Delicious with leek, mushroom & mustard chicken with herby cauliflower rice.
Treatment Handpicked grapes were chilled overnight before gentle pressing. The wine was entirely barrelled fermented in French oak barriques (20% new) using indigenous yeast. A short period of lees stirring post ferment adds a textural element to the palate.
