Our Nobilo Regional Collection Sauvignon Blanc represents the best of what New Zealand has to
offer, with classic flavours that consistently showcase the diverse qualities of our Marlborough
vineyards, year after year.
Grapes were selected from a wide variety of our Awatere and Wairau vineyards in Marlborough to
ensure a complex and harmonious flavour profile.
The grapes were harvested at night when temperatures are cool to preserve their vibrant fruit
flavours, and then pressed immediately with minimal skin contact into stainless steel tanks. A long,
slow fermentation was carried out at cool temperatures using various yeast strains to lend complexity
and enhance fruit expression. Each vineyard block was kept separate throughout the various stages
of the winemaking process, allowing different parcels to blend into Nobilo’s signature style.
