Winery notes (2019 Vintage)
"The Botrytis Semillon fruit for this luscious wine is harvested from the same couple of vineyards each year, that have proven to produce the best Botrytis consistently year after year. Sourced from our own Estate vineyards and the vineyard of a grower with a long history of supplying De Bortoli’s with fruit for Noble One.
Opulent layers of stone fruit, citrus zest, honey drenched apricots with hints of nougat and vanilla bean accents from the French oak. A rich texture balanced by sweet fruit and refreshing acidity.
Perfect with Pear or Peach Tarte Tatin or with Blue cheese and a little truffled honey poured over. Alternatively enjoy with savoury dishes like Chicken Liver Parfait or Roasted Pork belly with orange and star anise."
5 Stars & Number 2 Cuisine Sweet Wine Tasting, November 2023 (2017 Vintage)
"A deep orange-gold in the glass with rich aromas of butterscotch, toffee apple and full of warm, ripe tropical fruit on the nose. The palate is layered and big with juicy apricots and vanilla. Lusciously sweet but beautifully balanced."

95/100 James Halliday's Wine Companion, August 2020 (2017 Vintage)
"Golden yellow-orange hue; De Bortoli has been out on its own with this wine since ‘82. It’s complex, with glace fruits and spices yet doesn’t cloy. Serve fully chilled and wait for the fireworks."
