Nobilo Sauvignon Blanc 2021 2021 Review

When Marlborough's wine scene began in the 1970s, the Nobilo family was there. They were part of the pioneering efforts that would create one of the world’s most popular wine regions in New Zealand. To this day, they produce their Savvy B in the same style they always have. Lean with good fruit and some pepper. Said pepper is muted a bit, which is great, with more of a focus on minerality. An awesome, crowd-pleasing wine.
