Twin Islands of Nautilus Estate is a wine that comes from the fresh and windy vineyards of the Marlborough region, New Zealand, a territory famous for its ability to fully express the elegance of international grape varieties such as Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay.

This wine stands out for its vibrant structure and aromatic purity, characteristics that faithfully reflect the maritime terroir and the marine climate of the area. Thanks to careful refinement in stainless steel at controlled temperature, it retains intact the scents of tropical fruit, fresh citrus, and herbaceous hints typical of Sauvignon Blanc, while a delicate mineral touch adds depth and complexity.

On the palate, Twin Islands is savory and lively, with a refined balance between acidity and softness that makes it ideal as a companion for dishes based on seafood, grilled fish, or summer salads. Its versatility and distinctive character make it an authentic expression of the innovative winemaking spirit of Nautilus Estate.

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.
