NOBILO SAUVIGNON BLANC MARLBOROUGH 2019 750 mL

Details

VINIFICATION : Our Nobilo Sauvignon Blanc represents the best of what New Zealand has to offer, with classic flavors that consistently showcase the diverse qualities of our Marlborough vineyards, year after year.

Fruit was primarily selected fr om vineyards in Marlborough’s Wairau Valley, which provided complementary layers of tropical fruit flavors. A smaller portion from vineyards in the Awatere Valley provided balance with citrus-driven, fresh, crisp, and vibrant flavors.

The grape s were harvested at night, when temperatures are cool, to preserve their vibrant fruit flavors, destemmed, and then pressed immediately with minimal skin contact into stainless steel tanks. A long, slow fermentation was carried out at cool temperatures us ing various yeast strains to lend complexity, enhance fruit expression, and maintain the classic Marlborough character. Each vineyard block was kept separate throughout the various stages of the winemaking process, allowing different parcels to blend into Nobilo’s signature style.
