This is a lovely representation of what New Zealand can produce at a great price!
Another wine from New Zealand? I told you! I love them!
This time I tried a Sauvignon Blanc from Nobilo.
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 recognized and appraised by all markets.
A rich, complex, full bodied wine with a striking bouquet of passion fruit, gooseberries and nettles. Opulent tropical fruit flavors, complemented by herbal and mineral characters lead to a persistent finish. Sophisticated and delicious.
Pair with oysters! Delicious!
