Drew's Tasting Note

Lifted notes of white peaches and white florals, with a twist of ginger and ripe citrus on the nose. The palate is refreshing, flavoursome and fleshy with a refreshing zingy finish, all ripe, juicy peach, pear and lime fruits.

The Winery

Nautilus Estate is a small, family-owned winery in Marlborough, New Zealand, producing wine since 1985. Its owner, Robert Hill Smith, is a fifth-generation vigneron, and that long-term perspective shapes how the estate operates; changes are made slowly and only when they genuinely improve the wine. Winemaker Clive Jones works with fruit from six vineyards across Marlborough's varied valleys, blending parcels to build texture and complexity, with food-friendliness a guiding principle throughout. The estate runs two dedicated facilities (one for Pinot Noir, the other for white winemaking), which give the team precise control over each style while keeping the winery's environmental footprint in check.
