The mathematically perfect spiral of the Nautilus shell has been admired since ancient Greek times…and in more recent times by wine lovers in NZ and around the world!

Don’t take our word for it. The Nautilus Estate Southern Valleys Pinot Noir is up there with the best of the best of Marlborough Pinots – totally backed by a whopping 95/100 and Top Rank Award by Master of Wine Bob Campbell for The Real Review.

In fact this was ranked as No.3 best Marlborough Pinot from the 2019 vintage!

Bob called it “Deep, flavoursome pinot noir from a very favourable vintage. Made with a light touch to produce a silken-textured wine with lush, ripe cassis, dark cherry, plum, anise, and spicy oak flavours. Delicious wine that is accessible now but should develop well with a little bottle age.”

First launched in 1985 as a premium, family owned NZ winery. These days Nautilus are part of a bigger (and very prestigious) family – The Family of Twelve.

Twelve of NZ’s most iconic, successful wineries that share information, ideas and even the odd secret or two. The top brass of NZ wineries sit round this table – Villa Maria, Kumeu River, Millton, Craggy Range, Ata Rangi, Palliser Estate, Neudorf, Lawsons, Fromm, Pegasus Bay, Felton Road and Nautilus.
