winemaker's notes:

Color: Light yellow in color with green hues and brilliant clarity.

Aroma: A distinctive Marlborough bouquet of ripe tropical and citrus fruit.

Palate: Nobilo Sauvignon Blanc is bursting with flavors of lemon, passionfruit and melon. Crisp and zesty, the palate has excellent weight and balance, lingering in a full, refreshing finish.

"Supple, intense and streamlined, with a suave array of grapefruit, mineral, herb and guava tones. Spice tones add complexity, with generous fruit and minerals fleshing out the finish. Drink now."

Kevin Butler - Chesapeake, VA (read all my reviews)
I would buy this wine again

We had this wine for the first time at McCormick & Schmicks Seafood Restaurant. Under the lights this wine is nearly translucent and absolutely clear. The taste is slightly citrus at first, but has a complex nature as you continue to drink. It is crisp and cleanses the palate as you procced through your meal. An Excellent pairing with Tilapia, trout, or other mild white fish, or with raw oysters, clams with lemon, butter and herbs or any similar meal. The waiter brought us a sampling to help convince us we could not go worng and that earned him a larger than usual tip! An excellent choice - You can not go wrong with this excellent crisp, clear, and satisfying wine!

  Crisp and Clean - 10/30/2008
I would buy this wine again

Very crisp initially, with a specific sharpness. Excellent with mild cheeses and spreads.

I would buy this wine again

I had this wine for the first time in a California Pizza Kitchen and just loved it. I have been looking forward to summer so that I can enjoy this. Great on it's own or with food. NZ SB's are my favorite.

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.

Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.

Organically grown grapes
