Over 30 years’ experience with this variety have led us to favour palate weight,\u003cbr\u003e\ntexture and length in the Nautilus Sauvignon Blanc. The Paper Nautilus takes this one step\u003cbr\u003e\nfurther.\u003cbr\u003e\nPaper Nautilus shells are wafer-thin with beautiful geometry and texture. They often wash up\u003cbr\u003e\non secluded beaches in the Marlborough Sounds.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Paper Nautilus Sauvignon Blanc is sourced from some older vines on our oldest estate-\u003cbr\u003e\nowned vineyard in Renwick. Soils are free-draining and stony, giving low cropping\/low vigour\u003cbr\u003e\nvines, relatively early ripening, great flavour development every year and age-worthy wines.\u003cbr\u003e\nJuice is fermented on solids in a large French Oak Cuve, using a non-Saccaromyces yeast, giving\u003cbr\u003e\na warmer, slower ferment, then matured on yeast lees for seven months. This translates to\u003cbr\u003e\nmore subtle aromatics, but far more texture and intensity on the palate.\u003cbr\u003e\nT A S T I N G N O T E S\u003cbr\u003e\nMarlborough Sauvignon Blancs are characterised by freshacidity and aromatic intensity derived\u003cbr\u003e\nfrom the cool climate, high sunlight intensity and free draining soils.\u003cbr\u003e\nHandpicking and fermenting in cuve give the Paper Nautilus Sauvignon understated aromas of\u003cbr\u003e\ncitrus peel, wet stones and hazelnuts.
