Tasting Notes :
De Bortoli Noble One Botrytis Semillon Half Bottle 375ml. Riverina, 2018
The alcohol, low. The acidity, juicier and palpably more natural.
A gentler approach and easier drinking because of it.
A botrytic parade of dried mango, pineapple chunks, ginger crystals and orange liqueur.
The finish long enough, without the stellar length of great examples.
The poise, exemplary. Apricot marmalade notes linger.
The oak beautifully nestled. Time will tell.

Darren De Bortoli created Noble One in 1982.
More than three decades after this pioneering Botrytis Semillon took the world by storm,
internationally acclaimed Noble One remains the benchmark of Australian
‘Botrytis’ dessert winemaking.
