Darren De Bortoli created Noble One at our family winery in 1982, to this day it is still one of the most awarded wines in history. More than four decades after this pioneering Botrytis Semillon took the world by storm, internationally acclaimed Noble One remains the benchmark of Australian ‘Botrytis’ dessert winemaking.

Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"An explosion of honey, tropical fruits, cumquats, candied orange peel with scents of vanillin and a whisper of spice. A succulent display of rich Botrytis fruit with neatly balanced sweetness and acidity.

Constant monitoring of the vineyards determines when to harvest the fruit. The fruit is crushed into tank overnight to soak to allow the fruit to fully extract all flavour and sweetness before pressing and then clarifying. Daily monitoring of the ferment in tank is required to ensure the ferment finishes with the optimal balance of flavour, sweetness and alcohol. Following clarification, the wine was matured in 30% new French oak barriques, 60% one and two-year-old barriques with 10% left in tank for freshness when blending.

Although generally considered a dessert wine, why not be daring and try it with pan-fried foie gras, caramelised pears and figs or roast quail with a sticky balsamic glaze. If you want to enjoy Noble One with dessert, try it with a sorbet or poached pears in honey or just a glass of Noble One is dessert in itself."

96/100 Shanteh Wale, James Halliday's Wine Companion (2022 Vintage)
"A reticent wine on the nose, this was a very good vintage for botrytis, so hold space for what is to come with time in the bottle. Marigold flowers, honeysuckle and loquat fruit. Golden-hued plums and pineapple turnover. There is a shortbread and baked madeleine biscuits thanks to the use of new oak but it sings a chorus behind the ripe fruit, which sits in front. Acidity is long and stretched at the seams which makes for a succulence. A very elegant wine with the power to take its avid drinkers into the far reaches of pleasure. This is a wine with a very long future and definitely the vintage to collect. "
