Nobilo's Sauvignon Blanc is an [aromatic New Zealand wine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-sauvignon-blanc) that's meticulously prepared in Marlborough. To ensure the best flavors come through, the grapes are harvested at night when temperatures are cooler. After this, the wine is immediately pressed in a way that brings grape skins it into minimal contact with the stainless steel tanks. Finally, fermentation also happens at a low temperature to preserve the rich flavors of fruity pineapple, passion fruit that blend with herbal notes of nettle and tomato plant.

As a part of the brand's Regional Collection, this white wine hails from the Wairau and Awatere vineyards in New Zealand, giving off a well-rounded flavor profile that showcases the vibrancy of the region.

Nobilo suggests that the [white New Zealand wine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2024-sauvignon-blanc) pairs well with seafood items like oysters, salmon, tuna and shrimp, though it can also stand on its own as a light aperitif.
