Nautilus Chardonnay 2023/24 Irish Cream brown sugar and soft toffee

brown sugar and soft toffee

real dairy cream

A very special Talisker

However it was a mixed season across the region with vineyards impacted by a severe frost early season (13th October) with temperatures at -4°C and three days of late frosts (6-8th April)

but the nights are amongst the coolest in the Waipara Valley

Nautilus Chardonnay 2023/24 Irish Cream brown sugar and soft toffeeThe 2021 Nautilus Chardonnay is straw coloured with a lifted nose of ripe nectarines, apricots, brioche, and toasted hazelnuts 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.
