Nautilus Estate Marlborough Albariño 2025
"A delicious wine, varietal and nicely intense with aromas of peach and citrus peel, there’s a mineral quality with a sandy stony suggestion. Taut, crisp and dry with a saline seam surrounding white peach and orchard citrus flavours framed by a backbone of acidity and salivating mouthfeel, an aperitif style. Well made, balanced and lengthy with best drinking from day of purchase through 2030" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Feb 2026
Fragrant and vibrant, the 2025 Nautilus Albariño opens with aromas of white peach, mandarin zest, and a hint of sea spray. The palate is bright and expressive, delivering juicy stonefruit flavours with a touch of salinity and fine texture. Crisp acidity drives a long, zesty finish, capturing the variety’s signature freshness and energy. Delicious upon release, this wine will improve for 3-5 years post vintage.
The 2025 growing season began with a few cool spring mornings, but conditions soon turned ideal. A warm, dry summer allowed for steady ripening, and a light rain before harvest gave the vines a welcome refresh. Albariño thrived in these conditions, with bunch weights holding strong right through to harvest, resulting in vibrant, flavour-packed fruit.
Picked in excellent condition, the Albariño is already showing great promise — bright acidity, lovely texture, and pure varietal expression. We’re excited about how this vintage is shaping up.
The fruit was machine picked, using a destemming harvester and soaked for a period on skins, before pressing. The racked and clarified juice was then cool fermented in a stainless steel tank using an aromatic yeast. A short period of maturation on yeast lees followed before bottling.
Food Pairing: Pancetta-wrapped Scallops with Saffron and Herb Risotto.
