2016 De Bortoli Noble One Botrytis Semillon 375ml, Riverina

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.

Pale golden in colour, the 100% Semillon 2016 Noble One Semillon exudes an intense nose of apricot preserves, acacia honey and beeswax with nuances of musk perfume, potpourri, cinnamon stick and orange marmalade. Very sweet, rich and unctuous on the palate, it has a superb backbone of uplifting acidity and layers of complex nuttiness and soft vanillin, backed with a refreshing acidity and very long finish. This is a wine of harmony and elegance that is drinking now and will continue to provide joy to 2033+.
