A lovely fruit forward and pure sparkling wine made in the same way as Champagne from 45% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir and 20% Gamay. Nine months on the lees gives this real depth with subtle notes of brioche combining with its citrus and stone fruit flavours.

One of Marlborough?s best bubblies, Nautilus is modelled on Bollinger Special Cuvee and aged for three years before release ? a long ageing time that provides depth, complexity of yeasty flavours and it retains freshness... This dry, full bodied, deliciously yeasty sparkling wine is a blend of 71.4% Pinot Noir and 28.6% Chardonnay. All grapes are hand picked, fermented with a champagne yeast with only the first run of juice going to fermentation to retain a fineness in flavour and texture. The wine typically contains 5 to 15% of reserve wines, held back from previous vintages, to add complexity and consistency to the wine. 

It is aged on lees in bottle for three years prior to disgorgement, which takes place regularly to ensure every bottle on the market remains fresh in flavour. 

Winemaker Clive Jones creates a consistently vibrant sparkling wine here which has pronounced yeasty, fresh bread aromas and rich savoury flavours. 

Nautilus is a member of Method? Marlborough, a group of quality minded winemakers in the country's biggest wine region, who have dedicated themselves to producing sparkling wines with a minimum of 18 months aging in the bottle and made 100% from grapes grown in their region.

On the face of it, sparkling pink Pinot Noir in a can sounds... well, a little out of the blue, but this is the best wine in cans that we've tried yet. And we're sure you'll agree. Gold Digger is a long established sparkling wine from Central Otago's Maori Point Wines. This new pink fizz is an addition to this much loved bubbly brand.

Can you imagine tasting history? Well, here is the perfect chance to do just that with This new museum release Nautilus Marlborough Cuv?e Brut, which was aged for 10 years on tirage; on its yeast lees in the bottle. Dry, richly flavoursome and full bodied with enormous toasty appeal adding depth of flavour and power. Grapes come from three vineyards in Marlborough, were all hand picked and fermented with a champagne yeast with full lees aging and malolactic fermentation. This wine typically contains between five and 15% of reserve wine, which is held back from previous vintages. This blend is 73% Pinot Noir and 27% Chardonnay.

A new take on Chardonnay with a light bubbly, a dry taste and a little sediment from the winemaking process. This is dry, medium bodied and savoury.

This wine was fermented in the bottle in a similar style to the way that Champagne is made, only this wine was not disgorged (to remove the yeast lees), which means it may contains some sediment from the winemaking process.

#N/A

Beautiful complex sparkling wine made in the same way as champagne, only in the heart of the Wairarapa. This is one of our staff faves and we eagerly await its return in store - with a new fresh vintage from Johner Estate in Gladstone.

Chardonnay with bubbles combines two of the wine world's most popular things and this wine comes from Limoux in the southern French region of Languedoc. This is a fresh, crisp wine made using the Champagne method. Extended ageing on the lees adds toasted notes and a rich texture. This wine is exceptionally good for the price.

Vibrant pink in colour. Lively strawberry notes combined with a creamy intensity on the palate, produces a wine of beautiful balance and length.
