Nautilus Estate Description
The Paper Nautilus Sauvignon Blanc displays intense lifted aromas of citrus blossom, lemongrass, and green gage plums. The palate introduces delightful citrus based mouth watering intensity and finishes with a strong textural component.Winery.

The 2022 The Paper Nautilus Sauvignon Blanc is the premium Sauvignon Blanc offering from Nautilus, and I was lucky enough to taste it from (very large format) barrel when I was at the estate in September 2023. While it is certainly punchy and intense, it also is defined by mineral restraint and elegance. The wine is greyscale in its offerings, with lanolin and beeswax, crushed shells and tissue paper, layers of enoki mushroom, brine and even hints of white miso. A superb wine I highly recommend. All class. 13% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

If you're looking for a classic, tropical yet green Sauvignon Blanc, walk away, because the 2020 The Paper Heritage Block Renwick Estate is a diametrically opposed expression. It’s a firm, floral and flinty style with line and tension. The wine isn't made every year, but when it's deemed good enough, it’s fermented and aged in large-format oak for nine months. Compact and honed, the wine conjures the image of a crowd surging forward. Additional flavors of ripe apples and lees-derived almond pastry notes join the flinty, floral characters on the precise, long finish. Smart stuff.
