Winery notes (2021 Vintage)
"Nautilus Vintage Rosé 2021 is pale salmon in colour with a fine creamy mousse. The nose shows fresh raspberries, with fragrances of white 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.

Dijon clone Pinot Noir Grapes were hand-picked & chilled overnight. The next morning the grapes were de-stemmed prior to pressing to allow the release of a small amount of colour from the skins. The lightly pink coloured juice was fermented to dryness & left on yeast lees until undergoing a full malolactic fermentation. After bottling in November for secondary fermentation, this single vineyard vintage wine was aged on tirage until disgorging in May 2024."

5 Stars & 95/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, March 2026 (2021 Vintage)
"Gorgeously composed and expressed with golden apple, citrus peel, biscotti, and yeasty characters on the nose, followed by a wonderfully weighted palate that's creamy and flowing. Splendidly structured by beautifully pitched acidity, making it superbly harmonious and seamless. At its best: now to 2031."

94/100 & Judges' Selection, Global Fine Wine Challenge 2025, Australia (2021 Vintage)
"Subdued nose. Berry, earth, mostly. Ripe and round style. Crowd-pleasing. Fresh finish. Nicely managed and complete."

Rated Excellent & 94/100 Cameron Douglas MS, October 2025 (2021 Vintage)
"A bouquet of autolysis scents with complexity and intrigue. Aromas and flavours of baked goods from oatmeal to fresh bread then a mix of stone fruits and citrus, raspberry and cherry. Crisp, saline, salivating and dry, a wine with tautness and subtle power. As the wine opens out in glass the intensity of raspberry and red fruits increases as does the autolytic foundation. Delicious, fresh and ready to drink from 2025 through 2032."

Gold Medal, Dish Magazine Best Sparkling Wines of 2025, November 2025 (2021 Vintage)
"Its pale, luminous apricot hue leads to berry brioche, soft cashew, and a subtle savoury nuance. Elegantly proportioned and beautifully balanced, it delivers a juicy burst of cranberry and raspberry that’s seamlessly underpinned by a fine, textural structure. This leads to a sustained, refined finish characterised by a hint of shortbread and crisp, vibrant freshness, which confirms its serious and stylish poise."

5 Stars & 93/100 Sammy Wilkinson, TheWineWriter.com, April 2026 (2021 Vintage)
"Dried roses and freeze-dried strawberries and raspberries, with soft fuzzy peach and a mineral note. Juicy on the palate, with zippy, electric acidity and a chalky, steely mineral streak. There’s a lovely perfume of redcurrant and rose, while bready, toasty, and savoury biscuit notes mingle with the bright red fruit and a lively citrus twist. Deliciously taut and classy, this would be a knockout alongside some salmon canapés at your next get-together."

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.
