Opawa is Nautilus’ more affordable range and this Marlborough rosé is normally a highlight. I don’t see the same glory in ’19. Pink fruit starts things well, but palate is empty. Picked too early and lacks bite. Best drinking: now. 16/20, 87/100. 11.5%, $24. Would I buy it? No.
About me – Andrew Graham
At 18 I started working in a small suburban bottleshop, largely to buy cheap beer. It was my first year of university, slogging through physics and chemistry, and a liquor shop seemed like fun. Needless to say I discovered wine, my uni degree morphed into something completely different and wine/beer took over my life.
Twenty years later and I currently spend my days wearing many (wine) hats, mostly as a writer, presenter and marketer.
While wearing my writer cap I write features for the likes of National Liquor News, Gourmet Traveller WINE and the RAS plus I'm a Lifestyle FOOD channel wine expert. Read more about me here or get in touch to book your next wine event with me here.
