The Sauvignon Blanc of Nautilus Estate is born in the heart of the Marlborough region, in New Zealand, a territory famous for the production of fresh and aromatic white wines. This grape variety, carefully cultivated here, best expresses the typical characteristics of the area: vibrant freshness, balanced acidity, and intense aromas. The maritime climate and well-drained soils give the wine an olfactory clarity that recalls hints of citrus, tropical fruit such as passion fruit, and light herbal notes.

The aging takes place in stainless steel tanks to preserve the aromatic integrity and purity of the fruit, keeping the structure and minerality lively. On the palate, the Sauvignon Blanc of Nautilus Estate shows elegance, with a medium body and a persistent finish that reveals a pleasant sapidity. This white, refined and harmonious, is perfect to accompany raw fish dishes, shellfish, or fresh salads, becoming a perfect choice for those seeking a fresh and vibrant tasting experience, typical of the New Zealand terroir.

Winery history
Nautilus Estate began producing wine in the 1980s and released its first Sauvignon Blanc in 1985. Over time the estate — associated with the Hill‑Smith family — has expanded its presence across several parcels in Marlborough, developing a range that includes traditional-method sparkling wines and a Pinot Noir program with a dedicated cellar for the gentle handling of the grapes.
Production philosophy
The wines are inspired by the form and balance of the nautilus shell: the goal is to achieve precision, structure and texture, with an emphasis on expressive, balanced wines that pair well with food.
Terroir and vineyards
Production comes from several vineyards in Marlborough, distributed across the Wairau Valley, the Southern Valleys and the Awatere area. Among the vineyards owned or managed are Renwick, Opawa, Kaituna, Lanark Lane, Korohi and Clay Hills. Individual vineyards provide distinct components for the brand's blends and varietal ranges.
