KEY POINTS:
New Zealand raider Nautilus Estate has won the hotly contested best pinot noir trophy at the Royal Hobart International Wine Show.
New Zealand winemakers have dominated the category in the past 10 years at the show in the state where pinot noir accounts for 40 per cent of production.
Nautilus Estate and Villa Maria have won three of the past four pinot noir trophies at the show.
But Tasmania turned the tables on New Zealand with Bream Creek Vineyard winning best sauvignon blanc and Victoria's Coldstream Reserve Chardonnay 2006 best wine in show.
