Nautilus Estate is a small family-owned winery nestled in the cool and diverse valleys of Marlborough New Zealand.
Nautilus is committed to crafting wines that are textural, age-worthy and food friendly, respecting and showcasing the unique Marlborough terroir. Grapes are selected from a handful of specially chosen Marlborough vineyard parcels, which contribute a vast spectrum of flavours and aromas. The resulting blend gives complexity and depth.
Recognising the winemaking complexities of the inspiring but sometimes infuriating Pinot Noir grape, Nautilus built two separate wineries; The Nautilus Pinot Cellar, built to handle Pinot as gently as possible, and the Nautilus White Winery, dedicated to crafting cool climate varieties like Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, and Gruner Veltliner.
Notes: Dark ruby in colour, the nose reveals fragrant aromas of violets, dark plums and spices, while the palate is medium bodied with good structure. Refined and balanced, this elegant wine shows good intensity and a lengthy finish.
