Producer
The Nobilo story began in 1943, when our namesake, Nikola Nobilo moved from his native Croatia to New Zealand. Combining over 300 years of his families’ winemaking tradition, Nikola was an early champion for New Zealand wine. He recognized the pristine landscape was ideal for Sauvignon Blanc with expansive sunlight valleys, rolling hills and mineral rich soils creating a unique fresh and crisp flavor profile. His focus on quality and a move toward varietal wines helped guide the New Zealand wine industry to its success today.
Winemaking
Primarily, the grapes that go into Nobilo Sauvignon Blanc are from Wairau Valley, which provide layers of tropical fruit flavors. These combine with grapes from the Awatere Valley which offer balance, with citrus-driven, fresh, crisp and vibrant flavors. Harvesting at night in this cool maritime climate enables the winemakers to preserve the vibrant flavours, Grapes are destemmed and pressed with hardly any skin contact. A long, slow cool follows in steel tanks. Each vineyard block is kept separate while various yeast strains are used to add complexity. The final blending allows the characteristics of different parcels to create Nobilo's signature sophisticated style
Fun Fact
Screw Cap Revolution: New Zealand wineries were some of the first to embrace screw caps over traditional corks in the 1990s. This forward-thinking move ensured consistent quality and minimized the risk of wine spoilage, solidifying the country's reputation for innovation.
