Nautilus Sauvignon Blanc 2008

Posted by cfoldi On 26.7.10 0 comments



Year in, year out, the Nautilus Sauvignon Blanc is one of Marlborough's most consistent offerings.
The 2008 is a blend of fruit from several vineyards, fermented and selected yeast strains to optimise aromas and fruit integrity.
This pale green-gold wine displayes forward aromas of green pepper, passionfruit, gooseberry and lime.
It has a well weighted, fruit-packed palate and a fresh, lively finish.
At it's best age.
Brilliant match with fish and all sea creatures.
One of the best 'Savs' I've tried so far.
For NZ$ 25.

Light green in colour, citrus and lemon fruits dominate the nose.

The palate is generous and full with typical Sauvignon Blanc acidity.
Ready to drink -don't waste your time by cellaring it.
Fits well with salads and sea foods (especially when using lemon pepper).

For NZ$ 15.
