The mathematically perfect spiral of the Nautilus shell has been admired since ancient Greek times…and in more recent times by wine lovers in NZ and around the world!

First launched in 1985 as a premium, family owned NZ winery. These days Nautilus are part of a bigger (and very prestigious) family – The Family of Twelve.

Twelve of NZ’s most iconic, successful wineries that share information, ideas and even the odd secret or two. The top brass of NZ wineries sit round this table – Villa Maria, Kumeu River, Millton, Craggy Range, Ata Rangi, Palliser Estate, Neudorf, Lawsons, Fromm, Pegasus Bay, Felton Road and Nautilus.

This is their 2020 release Southern Valleys Pinot Noir that scored 93/100 with Master of Wine Bob Campbell. Bob said “Fragrant, floral pinot noir with violet, rose petal, cherry, plum, fresh herbs and subtle, spicy flavours that are deliciously accessible. Silken texture and surprising power with a tantalisingly lengthy finish.”
