Nautilus 2019 Pinot Noir

Tasting Notes

The 2019 Nautilus Pinot Noir is an elegant, dark ruby red wine from New Zealand's Southern Valleys of Marlborough. It delivers complex aromas of dark cherry, plum, and toasty spice, leading into a concentrated, silky palate with fine-grained tannins, balanced acidity, and a long, savory finish.

The natural combination of bright fruit, earthy spice, and subtle savory undertones makes this wine a highly adaptable partner for dinner. It pairs beautifully with rich, gamey meats like New Zealand lamb slow-cooked with star anise, cinnamon, and cloves, or pan-seared duck breast with poached cherries. For a lighter or plant-based pairing, its earthy complexity complements earthy vegetables wonderfully, making it an excellent match for a wild mushroom risotto, roasted beets, or even grilled salmon.
