NAUTILUS LANZAROTE

Nautilus was born in Lanzarote between volcanoes and lava rivers, a place where the most unique vineyards in Spain grow.

Its cultivation technique is unique in the world, the vines are planted in funnel-shaped holes, thereby protecting the plant from the frequent winds, this crop has rofe, the ash from the volcano, as a common element, which insulates the fertile soil from the surface thus conserving moisture.

Everything is done manually, resulting in low but high-quality productions. It is the volcanic Malvasia grape, a highly prized variety that gives unique, highly aromatic and terpenic wines, with a lot of structure, and a very balanced acidity.

The bottles are prepared one by one, the cork is sealed manually to avoid leaks, and they are placed in cages inside the underwater cellar for 6 months, in the Atlantic Ocean, on the same island of Lanzarote, a few kilometers from their bottling place.

The constant temperatures and with very little temperature variation on the seabed, 100% humidity as well as the pressure and light and noise conditions give the wine appreciable and very different organoleptic characteristics.

The underwater aging process accelerates its maturity without losing its freshness, developing in a surprising way, giving it more roundness and a saline bouquet.

The evolution of the wine after underwater aging is something that transcends the merely anecdotal and has been confirmed by prestigious oenologists and sommeliers.
