Winery notes (2020 Vintage)
"Nautilus Vintage Rosé 2020 is pale salmon in colour with a f ine creamy mousse. The nose shows red berry fruit notes, with fragrances of peach and rose petals and a hint of spice. 100% Pinot Noir gives this wine depth and weight balanced by a touch of brioche and a satin texture from extended lees maturation. This sparkling wine is finely balanced on the palate with an elegant and harmonious finish."

5 Stars Michael Cooper, November 2023 (2020 Vintage)
"The 2020 vintage, made entirely from Pinot Noir, was bottle-fermented and disgorged after two and a half years aging on its yeast lees. Light pink, it is finely balanced, crisp and lively, with very vigorous strawberry, watermelon and spice flavours, showing excellent complexity and harmony, and a dry, persistent finish."

94/100 Stephen Wong MW, The Real Review, November 2024 (2020 Vintage)
"A delightful rosé made from 100% Clone 115 pinot noir. The very pale colour is a result of overnight skin contact and light crushing during destemming, which allowed a small amount of colour to bleed into the wine. It undergoes full malolactic fermentation and ages for 2.5 years on lees in bottle before disgorgement, at which stage it gets a reasonably generous dosage of 7g/L sugar.

Fine mouse. Savoury pastry nose with hints of red berry conserve. A pillowy, layered but light palate with small-scaled but pretty fruit and florals within a lithe, elegant frame. Detailed and sustained on the finish suggesting significant upside potential for a lighter wine."

Rated Excellent & 93/100 Cameron Douglas MS, April2 204 (2020 Vintage)
"Very bright with pale salmon hues and a touch of gold lead to a bouquet of peach and strawberry then a fine autolysis. Youthful and vibrant on the palate with flavours that reflect the bouquet, plots of rose and red apple skin, a fine lees autolysis carves a pathway through core fruit flavours adding depth and breadth. Acidity salivates the palate as well as coating with echoes of autolysis and red berry fruit flavours. Dry, crisp, still ageing and developing, a wine to offer as an aperitif before a meal of with cheeses after dinner. Best drinking from 2026 through 2036."

Nautilus Estate's dedicated and forward-thinking team of viticulturists and winemakers have a very particular approach to their craft: they carefully blend various fruit parcels to create wines with intricate layers of complexity and put a special emphasis on enhancing their texture and mouthfeel. To achieve this, they are equipped with state-of-the-art, albeit small-scale, winemaking facilities that provide the necessary tools and precision.

While Nautilus wines are certainly enjoyable on their own, their true potential shines when paired with delectable cuisine. Winemaker Clive Jones places a significant emphasis on crafting wines that harmonise seamlessly with food, making it one of Nautilus' core philosophies.

At Nautilus, simplicity is a guiding principle, reflected in a small friendly team. A smaller team size allows each member to be fully engaged in the winemaking process from start to finish. It also affords Clive, the winemaker, the opportunity to dedicate his time to the art of winemaking rather than the management of a large workforce. It's an intentionally hands-on approach!

Excellent winery facilities grant Nautilus Estate the freedom to harvest grapes at their peak ripeness rather than being constrained by logistical considerations. This level of control extends to aspects such as the degree of extraction – the color and flavour – obtained from the grape skins.

Being a family-owned vineyard, they have the privilege of drawing upon generations of experience in the ever-evolving world of wine production. Owner, Robert Hill Smith, represents their fifth generation of family vintners, a lineage underscoring a commitment to a cautious, long-term approach. Changes are only implemented if they enhance the quality of their wines.

Nautilus invites you to savour a relaxed and informal wine tasting experience at their beautifully renovated cellar door tasting bar. Here, Guests have the chance to sample wines from their current selection and fully appreciate the fruits of Nautilus Estate's labours of love.
