The wine has a distinctive nutty bouquet, which\u003cbr\u003e\nshows the richness of a Pinot Noir dominant blend and the benefits of\u003cbr\u003e\nextended maturation. An elegant finely structured wine in which the\u003cbr\u003e\nfruit flavours harmonise with biscuity, yeast derived complexities and crisp\u003cbr\u003e\nacidity to give a lingering dry finish.\u003cbr\u003e\nW I N E M A K I N G \u0026amp; V I T I C U L T U R E\u003cbr\u003e\nThree vineyard sites are managed to produce fruit for Nautilus Cuvee, giving\u003cbr\u003e\nus a range of flavour influences. All grapes are hand picked and whole bunch\u003cbr\u003e\npressed with only the finest free run juice reserved.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe individual base wines are fermented with a selected champagne yeast\u003cbr\u003e\nand left of lees until undergoing a full malolactic fermentation in the\u003cbr\u003e\ntraditional Champenoise style.\u003cbr\u003e\nBlending typically occurs in September, and at this stage a portion of reserve\u003cbr\u003e\nwine is introduced to add complexity and character to the Cuvee in a tradi-\u003cbr\u003e\ntional non vintage style. Typically between 5% and 15%, the reserve wine,\u003cbr\u003e\nconsisting of base wine held back from previous vintages, is used. The blend\u003cbr\u003e\nis then bottled and undergoes a secondary fermentation before being aged\u003cbr\u003e\nfor a minimum of 36 months prior to disgorging and release.\u003cbr\u003e\nC E L L A R I N G\u003cbr\u003e\nDelicious upon release and ready for immediate consumption, this wine will\u003cbr\u003e\ndevelop a toasty complexity as it ages under cork.\u003cbr\u003e\nI D E A L F O O D M A T C H\u003cbr\u003e\nTry with delicious fresh oysters or parmesan wafers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nautilus Estate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47403057742048,"sku":"123865","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/files\/nautilus-estate-brut-cuvee_1.jpg?v=1747944674","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/nautilus-estate-brut-cuvee-nv-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
