Noble One 2019

VINEYARD - 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.
SEASON - Each year's weather throws a challenge when making Botrytis wines and 2019 was no different, no rain until late March when Botrytis was initiated in the vineyards but it was stalled until late April when we received a deluge of rain and quickly needed to harvest the fruit as the Botrytis spread through the vineyard expeditiously. Harvest took place over a two week period during mid May.
TASTING NOTES - 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.
