Indisputably the best dessert wine in Australia. Alluring aromas of marmalade, quince and vanilla give way to rich, lusciously sweet fruit, that’s offset by refreshing acidity. So so good.
Knowing the history we have with each vineyard, we then harvest, ferment and mature each separately to capture the nucleus of flavours each of them produce. When blended together they enhance and sculpt the personality of the wine we know as Noble One.

95 Points - James Halliday
De Bortoli’s Riverina autumn climate is tailor-made for botrytis, resulting in this exceptionally complex, unctuously sweet wine, acidity providing the all-important balance. Rating: 95 points
