More than four decades after its first vintage took the world by storm, Noble One remains the undisputed benchmark of Australian Botrytis dessert winemaking — a wine that has won more international awards than almost any other Australian wine. The 2017 vintage from the Riverina delivered the warm, humid conditions that Botrytis thrives in, producing fruit of exceptional concentration and natural sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeep golden amber in the glass — the characteristic colour of great Botrytis Semillon.

On the palate, it is luscious and rich with concentrated stone fruit and citrus flavours, crème brûlée, and a beautifully integrated natural acidity that prevents the sweetness from ever feeling heavy.

The No. 2 draws inspiration from the great wines of the Northern Rhône — co-fermenting Shiraz with a small proportion of white Viognier and Marsanne to add aromatic lift, silky texture, and extraordinary complexity. The 2004 vintage was exceptional in the Yarra Valley, delivering a long, cool growing season that produced wines of remarkable finesse, concentration, and natural structure.
