About the winery · Nobilo ›
Nobilo traces its New Zealand story to Nikola Nobilo, who moved from Croatia to New Zealand and planted vines at Huapai in 1943. The producer says Nikola brought more than 300 years of family winemaking tradition and became an early champion of New Zealand wine. Nobilo focuses on Sauvignon Blanc and Icon wines, with a style built around bright fruit, freshness and food-friendly acidity. Its Marlborough vineyards benefit from sunny days, cool nights and coastal influence.
