Nobilo REGIONAL COLLECTION Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough NZ

Steeped in history, Nobilo wines are proudly acclaimed 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 in Europe, 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. The Nobilo family effectively persuaded and guided the New Zealand wine industry away from hybrid grape varieties and fortified wines, to a higher level of quality wine, now recognised and appraised by all markets. 'Searching for the best...' is the philosophy in the creation of the Drylands wines, reflecting the pride and inspiration of the winemaking team, led by Darryl Woolley and David Edmonds. Allowing the expression of the vineyard to follow through to the wine is an important factor in its development. The fruit concentration from these 22 plus year-old vines creates unique complexity and depth to this wine. Each year, the wine wins a selection of gold medals and is the regular recipient of international trophies. A generous, supple palate shows a perfect balance of ripe, sweet fruit and fresh, zesty acidity. Snatches of passion fruit, banana and lifted citrus notes, are complemented by an intense, dry, lingering finish.
