Nautilus Estate Pinot Gris 2023

The natural beauty and mathematical precision of the nautilus shell has been our inspiration to create expressive, textural, precisely crafted wines at Nautilus Estate since 1985. Back in those days there were around 80 wineries in New Zealand. Today there are over 500, yet we remain under the same family ownership, committed to making wines from the stunningly beautiful Marlborough region of New Zealand.

Pinot Gris wines, originating from the Alsace region of France and also widely produced in countries like Italy, Germany, and the United States, are renowned for their lush and aromatic character. Made from the Pinot Gris grape, which is a mutation of the red Pinot Noir grape, these wines offer a diverse range of flavors and styles. Pinot Gris wines typically exhibit a medium to full-bodied profile, with flavors ranging from ripe pear, apple, and stone fruit to tropical notes like pineapple and melon. The grape's inherent richness often results in a slightly viscous texture on the palate, adding to the wine's overall mouthfeel and depth of flavor.

Pinot Gris wines are known for their versatility in both winemaking and food pairing. Depending on the region and winemaking style, Pinot Gris wines can range from dry to off-dry or even slightly sweet. In Alsace, for example, they tend to be more full-bodied and complex, while in Italy, they may be crisper and lighter. This versatility makes Pinot Gris wines suitable for a wide range of culinary pairings, from seafood and poultry to creamy pasta dishes and Asian cuisine. With their expressive aromatics, lush texture, and food-friendly nature, Pinot Gris wines offer a delightful drinking experience that appeals to a broad spectrum of wine enthusiasts.
