New Zealand is an impressive wine country. Winemaking is relatively new there. Commercial wine production as we know it today only began in the early 1980s. In the first half of the 1980s, many impressive wineries were established in the northern part of the South Island, also known as Marlborough. Nautilus Estate also saw the light of day during this time. It was established in 1985 west of the town of Rapaura. From there, Nautilus wines have conquered the world, generation after generation.
Nautilus wines from Marlborough
Nautilus Estate is a true family business. Currently at the helm is Robert Hill, the fifth generation. Together with his exceptionally talented winemaker, the illustrious Clive Jones, they have succeeded in becoming a renowned winery with high-quality New Zealand wines. Unique to Nautilus Estate is its two distinct estates. One estate focuses on Pinot Noir, while the other Nautilus estate focuses on white grape varieties.
The New Zealand wines of Nautilus
The quality of Nautilus wine begins in the vineyards. Nautilus Estate boasts no fewer than six vineyards in the Marlborough region. Thanks to the unique climate of New Zealand's South Island, the grapes are of exceptional quality. They impart a vibrant character unique to New Zealand wines. A special feature of the Nautilus wine range is Pinot Noir. This delicate wine is considered by our vinologists to be one of the finest Pinot Noir wines from New Zealand.
The Nautilus Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand
However, Nautilus Estate does have one crown jewel on its estate: the Nautilus Estate Sauvignon Blanc. This white wine is a striking white wine, as befits a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. Lively, invigorating, refreshing: exactly what you'd expect from a white wine from Marlborough. However, Nautilus manages to create a white wine of exceptional quality. While other wineries sometimes tend to favor high acidity, Nautilus Estate Sauvignon Blanc boasts a very pleasant palate.
