Winemaker Notes
Showing a pale yellow color, the 2017 Nobilo Sauvignon Blanc is bright, lifted tropical fruit and herbs with notes of pineapple, elderflower, cantaloupe, and citrus. On the palate, a lively acidity perfectly balances the underlying fruit sweetness. Fresh and crisp on the finish.
Enjoyable on its own as an apéritif or with lemon herb chicken, summer salads, or lighter seafood dishes.

COMPOSITION: The Nobilo Sauvignon Blanc has always been one of my first choices in selecting an à point example of this grape variety from the Marlborough Region of New Zealand. TASTING NOTES: This wine drinks exceedingly well. Its aromas and flavors of ripe citrus and dried herbs should pair it well with lightly-spiced roast chicken. (Tasted: July 18, 2018, San Francisco, CA)

So rich in history, Nobilo wines are proudly hailed as some of New Zealand's most respected pioneering wine brands. A Croat immigrant, Nikola Nobilo, whose family history and winemaking background stretches back over 300 years to the Adriatic island of Korcula off the Dalmatian coast, led the way. The history of the company in New Zealand goes back to the early 1940's when this Croatian family, landed in New Zealand. They settled in Huapai, West Auckland situated in the North Island of New Zealand, and started planting vines in 1943. With over 300 years of European wine history, this family effectively persuaded and guided the NZ wine industry away from hybrid grape varieties and fortified wines, to a higher level of quality wine, now recognised and appraised by all markets.
