Business Description
|
Steeped in history, Nobilo Wine Group is proud owner of some of New Zealand's most respected pioneering wine brands. A Croat immigrant, Nikola Nobilo, whose family history and winemaking background stretches back over 300 years in Europe, led the way. The history of the company in New Zealand goes back to the early 1940's when this Croatian family, landed in New Zealand. They settled in Huapai, West Auckland, situated in the North Island of New Zealand, and started planting vines in 1943. The Nobilo family was key drivers in taking the New Zealand wine industry away from hybrid grape varieties and fortified wines, to classic varietals and a higher level of quality wine, now recognised and appreciated by all markets.
In September 1998, Nobilo Vintners, then a family company, purchased another successful New Zealand wine company, the thriving Selaks operation, to form a strong wine association. The Selak family, another early pioneering family from Croatia, came to New Zealand in the early 1900’s, also bringing with them many years of wine experience. They bottled their first wine in 1934. Today the Selaks brands Premium Selection and Founders Reserve have an enviable reputation both in New Zealand and overseas.
In mid-2000, Australia's second largest wine producer, BRL Hardy, purchased Nobilo Vintners, which later merged with Constellation Brands Inc.
