NOBILO ICON Sauvignon Blanc 2016

Nobilo Icon Sauvignon Blanc comes predominantly from the renowned Castle Cliffs Vineyard in Marlborough’s Awatere Valley. This site, first planted in 2002, runs from the foothills of the Wither Hills to the ocean’s coast. Cool Antarctic winds and glacial outwash gravel soil over sedimentary mudstone provide citrus and mineral characteristics. This wine begins with a shy, lightly fragrant nose of straw, lemongrass, banana pepper, and gooseberry, and ginger. The palate is mouthwatering and mineral driven with flavors of honeydew and sweet fresh herbs lingering on. (Best 2017-2019) - March, 2017 (JH)
