Nautilus Estate Albarino

The mathematically perfect spiral of the Nautilus shell has been admired since ancient Greek times…and in more recent times by wine lovers in NZ and around the world!

Don’t take our word for it. This is the Nautilus Estate Albarino from Marlborough and it’s up there with the best NZ examples of the style here in Aotearoa! Albariño (pronounced al-bar-een-yoh) is widely planted in Spain and Portugal but has become increasingly popular in the fridges of Kiwi wine guzzlers.

A Trophy winner for the Champion Other White at the NZ International Wine Show 2022, the judges said “A wonderfully fragrant wine with apricots, peaches and mandarin zest. Flavoursome on the palate with fresh melon, honeysuckle and ripe zesty grapefruit.”

First launched in 1985 as a premium, family owned NZ winery. These days Nautilus are part of a bigger (and very prestigious) family – The Family of Twelve.
