Nautilus

Nautilus is a wine producer in Marlborough that began making wines in 1985. Clive Jones joined Nautilus Estate as winemaker in August 1998. The winery is owned by Robert Hill Smith.

Across the estate, vineyards, grower blocks and the winery are accredited to Sustainable Winegrowers New Zealand. Winemaking takes place in two side-by-side wineries: one built in 2000 for Pinot Noir and the other in 2006 for white wines. The Pinot Noir facility uses gravity flow, while a pneumatic Diemme press is used for whole-bunch pressing Chardonnay, Pinot Gris and grapes for Nautilus Cuvée. Its wines include Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris and Nautilus Cuvée.
