Winemaking Notes
A hot summer and dry weather throughout autumn produced ideal conditions for ripening red grapes in Hawke’s Bay. The Merlot was harvested at low acidity and with excellent ripeness.
Fruit was destemmed but not crushed, and fermented on skins in a mixture of open top and closed vessels using cultured yeast strains. Fermentation took place over an average 18 days at temperatures up to 30 deg Celsius. Maturation was predominantly in stainless steel tanks, with a portion matured in oak. The final blend was bottled in February 2010.

Winery Profile
It all began in 1943, when Nikola Nobilo, having arrived in New Zealand from Croatia, planted his first vines and began to turn a dream into reality.
Combining over 300 years of family winemaking tradition with innovative approaches to winemaking and viticulture, Nikola was an early champion of premium New Zealand varietals.
Today, our winemakers continue his passion, selecting from our Nobilo vineyards to craft pure classic wines of distinct regional character.
Nobilo Regional Collection and Nobilo Icon wines are internationally acclaimed, especially our classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blancs, which have received numerous awards and accolades over many years.
