The first release from Nautilus Estate was a 1985 Sauvignon Blanc. At the time there were approximately 80 wineries in New Zealand, today there are over 700. Nautilus Estate is one of the few wineries that still has the same ownership over twenty-five years later. Under the stewardship of the Hill-Smith family, Nautilus Estate has remained true to its mantra of never being the biggest but always striving for the best. Growth has been controlled and deliberate, rather than riding the euphoric wave that was created as Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc took the world by storm.
Nautilus White Winery is dedicated to crafting cool climate varieties like Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, and Grüner Veltliner.
