Cabernet Franc from Hawke’s Bay and Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough. Their Chardonnay grapes came from several vineyards on what locals now call the ‘Golden Slopes’, including, in some years, the Tietjen and Witters vineyards. ‘Golden Slopes is a tongue-in-cheek take on the Cote d’Or, the name of the French departement and wine region of Burgundy.

Nick, the middle Nobilo son, had been a very promising rugby player in the Henderson High School First XV but was also very serious about wine. When Nick mused about continuing with his rugby, his father Nicola, the future of the family business in view, gave him clear options: ‘You play-a the rugby or you make-a the wine, not both!

Regional and Varietal Revolution In the second half of the twentieth century the regional distribution and varietal mix of New Zealand winegrowing was transformed. From an initial base in Auckland and Hawke’s Bay in the 1960s, substantial areas in vines have been planted in turn in Gisborne, Marlborough, the Wairarapa, Central Otago and parts of Canterbury. The vine also has established a noticeable presence in the Auckland region at locations beyond its traditional base in West Auckland around Matakana and on Waiheke Island; in the Waikato at Te Kauwhata; and in Nelson.
