FOOD PAIRING

Not just a wine to be enjoyed at the end of the meal with a delicious dessert or a delightful array of cheeses, it can also be enjoyed with savoury dishes such as Peking duck or freshly sauteed scallops with truffle and pear.

WINEMAKING

A retro Vintage of Noble One. A throwback to the wines of the mid 80’s with higher alcohols and slightly less sugar. Wines with incredible depth and energy. A long association with each vineyard gives us the confidence on when to harvest to reach their full potential. We harvest, ferment and mature each vineyard separately in French oak Barriques for 12 months to ensure the nuances of each vineyard flavours are captured. When blended together each parcel of wine plays their role in moulding the final wine we know as Noble One. 

CELLARING

This harmonious wine has great ageing potential of over 15-20 years.

Reviews

In your glass you will be hypnotised by a brilliant pale gold colour and alluring hue. The nose on this wine is far from shy, proudly showcasing grilled peaches coated in cinnamon and French nougat aromas, with a subtle hint of wild honey. The palate is rich, complex, unctuous and has a generosity that is a signature of ‘Noble One’. All of the sweet peaches and spun sugar flavours are kept in check by the deft natural touch of fruit acidity giving the wine an luxurious finish. 5 Stars.

Grape to Glass May 2021

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. 95 Points.

Halliday Wine Companion 2021 August 2020

A big flavoursome wine that's dense, complex and balanced and smelling toasty, butter and citrussy with good acid and sweetness balance on the rich lemony palate. 4.5 Stars.
