Grapes were selected from a wide variety of our Awatere and Wairau vineyards in Marlborough to ensure a complex and harmonious flavor profile. The grapes were harvested at night when temperatures are cool to preserve their vibrant fruit flavors, 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.
