If you are familiar with and enjoy the regular Nobilo offering, this is a no-brainer. It gives a big mouthful of round tropical fruit, racy acidity that leaves your tongue tingling, and a lingering gooseberry finish. Lacks finesse and sense of place, but is enjoyable nonetheless. Great with hard, salty cheeses. "Good-to-excellent" 90/100.

This pale yellow white offers aromas of citrus, gooseberries, nutmeg and dried herbs. Light-bodied, racy and with nicely integrated alcohol (listed as 13%), it delivers similar flavors on the palate and remains vibrant in the middle. Closing with a tart, medium-length finish, this is another Nobilo Icon bottling which will be popular with those who enjoy the New Zealand style. Drink now-2016.

Pleasantly tart, with a little bit of grapefruit.

Unchaneed from previous bottles. Lots of tropical fruit, passion fruit with nice mineralogy and earthy undertones.

Nice straightforward mix of gooseberry, herb and citrus; mouthful a bit more full than most SBs
