NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This wine showcases the pure fruit flavor that typifies New Zealand whilst offering an alternative to the Sauvignon Blanc-based wines that the country is most famous for.On the nose, you can expect enticing aromas of ripe peach, zesty lemon, and hints of tropical fruits. The palate is crisp and lively, with a perfect balance between the fruitiness and the acidity. Nautilus Albariño pairs wonderfully with seafood dishes, particularly shellfish and grilled fish. Its bright and zippy nature also makes it a fantastic choice for sipping on a warm summer day. Best drink when the wine is young.

Consistent blend of bracing white fruit tastes with a clean citrus and mineral aftertaste, leaving a clean and dry finish.
