Although Nobilo produces wines from all over New Zealand, this “regional collection” almost as good as their higher end Icon label. Tart but not shockingly mouth-sucking like some Marlborough Sauvignons Blancs, it has a lusciously well balanced acidity level. Characteristic grapefruit, but also tropical pineapple, pear and a lemon-lime finish. Light-bodied, refreshing and quite quaffable. Not to mention CHEAP!
Sweetness: 1 (out of 10)
