A Chardonnay that grows on you, this Nautilus release is layered and wonderfully moreish. Woah!
So sippable and a conversational type, spring time sunsets are all go. Flint, struck match, lemon curd, glace pineapple and pineapple husk roll out a red carpet ride of interest that calls you back time and again. A faint whiff of burnt caramel rises up but I'm hooked on the custard powder and barbecued peach drive through the palate. That gimme more appeal is capped off by delicate ginger spices that hum. A real treat and a good buy for those who enjoy Chardonnays with some depth and personality.
