Tasting profile
Structure: medium-bodied, medium tannin, high acidity, dry
Nautilus farm in the Southern Valleys of Marlborough, the clay-heavy inland slopes where Pinot Noir performs far better than on the stony Wairau plain that suits Sauvignon. Clay Hills is a single-vineyard bottling. Red and dark cherry over forest floor, dried herbs and a savoury, faintly spiced undertow, medium-bodied with high acidity and fine, well-judged tannin. Restrained and food-shaped rather than sweetly fruited.
