Noble One

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 three decades after this pioneering Botrytis Semillon took the world by storm, internationally acclaimed Noble One remains the benchmark of Australian ‘Botrytis’ dessert winemaking.

 - "Full golden-bronze; long experience has taught De Bortoli how to maximise the sweetness and richness without cloying the mouth. Indeed, the finish to the honey, creme brulee and cumquat marmalade flavours is seemingly almost dry - which it isn't, of course." - 95 points
 - "With so many wines in the market, it is sometimes easy to forget about the classics. This Noble One Botrytis Semillon is as satisfying and delicious as ever. Honeyed pear, scented vanilla and subtle spice enlivened by gentle lemon tones. It has great depth of flavour and an open and generous middle. A flavoursome, balanced dessert wine that, despite its very high sugar level, is not cloying or over-sweet. Lovely now but will also cellar well into the future."  - 96 points
 - "One of Australia's most famous dessert wines, botrytised semillon grapes that show in the glass as a darkish golden to light tan. The aromas suggest golden syrup, browned butter, stewed apricot, cumquat marmalade, honeysuckle and honeycomb. So much going on, with similar delicious flavours following, yet kept surprisingly lifted and fresh with a great lime-like twang of acidity." - 4.5 stars
 - "Deep colour. Complex and slightly toasty, but sweetness rules the roost."
 - "This is the King of Australian dessert wines, always showing intense golden yellow colors. The bouquet explodes with honeyed peach aromas. These secondary layers start to exude Asian spice and vanilla, the palate is smooth and long with nice acidity like candied pineapple. I love this with crème brulee."
 - "This 2014 glows amber inthe glass, has scents of toffee and pecannuts and bursts onto the front of the palatewith luscious quince flavour. The middlepalate features elements of lychees, apricots,treacle and hazelnutty oak and the finish issweet with a gunmetal acid underlay."

 - "Noble One returns with a marmalade-soaked, syrup-drenched wine with an aftertaste which lasts for a month, and it reminds us that no matter how many junior, epic-tasting wines that this supreme company makes for the High Street, when it comes to the real deal, this wine is head and shoulders above the competition. I have tasted every vintage of this wine made since its inception and they have all been stunning. They all age like clockwork, too. Well done De Borts – you are doing heroic work with your exceptional suite of sweeties.
 - "The label that started it all, the legend of the “Aussie sticky”, and this latest vintage is a cracker. Gingery, spicy fruit (think Rose's Lime Marmalade), combined with honey and vanilla, the palate is unctuous and rich, but 2013 is blessed with a fresh acid backbone. A sweet treat to wow your guests, or better yet, a half bottle between two will help pass a long, cold night."
 - "Yet another trophy at the 2016 Sydney Royal Wine Show for this intense pineapple and apricot-perfumed icon. Meringue and lemon curd flavours are counterpoised with a rapier-like acidity. Perfect with crème brûlée."
 - "With developed amber colour, the bouquet also shows maturity in its marmalade, barley-sugar aromas. Big and sweet with lots of flavour and a slight grip, and plenty of evidence of botrytis. It's very good in its full-throttle style." - 4 stars
 - "Alluring aromas of citrus marmalade, quince, vanilla bean and oak lead to a complex, attractive palate of quince, fig, honey and Crème brûlée. Refreshing acidity offsets the richness to give a deftly balanced finish."
 - "This is the Australian benchmark for botrytis-affected dessert wines, here in its celebratory best form for its 30th vintage release. Still several paces ahead of others in the genre, its concentration is out of this world, starting with mid to rich golden colours, intense aromas of honeysuckle and dried citrus peels, a spice layer from high percentage oak maturation, all buzzing with just enough acidity."
 - "This is the 30th vintage of Australia’s landmark dessert wine and it has been released in a special anniversary gift box to mark the milestone. Pair with Christmas pudding"
 - "... It glows amber in the glass and has aromas of cumquat marmalade and pecan nuts. The front of the palate brings forth lush lychee and fig flavours and quince, lime zest, creme brulee and vanillin oak characters chime in on the middle palate. The finish has a refreshing underlay of slatey acid."
 - "In any line-up of Australia’s finest wines, a spot would always have to be found for the De Bortoli family’s Noble One Botrytis Semillon... The luscious citrus/marmalade flavours captured by winemaker Julie Mortlock make every sip an extra special palate experience."
 - "Finesse within the powerful pure botrytis spectrum, Intense tropical mango, paw paw and apricot aromas. The palate is very rich and sweet, with candied long lusciousness. Low acidity and peaks of tropical and poached citrus fruits, after about 30 seconds. It draws to a close on the correct side of cloying."
 - “Golden-orange; has that tsunami of luscious honey crumble and preserved cumquat flavours as it enters the mouth, but then changes tack with a burst of fresh citrus on the finish that provides freshness…”- 95 points

 - <div>"Heady aromas of quince, zesty orange and vanillin oak waft from the glass. And the flavour is just as good – juicy white stone fruits, citrus, and a hint of marmalade and oak delight the palate."</div>
 - 95 Points "A very complete, luscious and supremely sweet dessert wine whose pungent bouquet of apricot, orange rind and lemon meringue reveals underlying notes of sweet vanilla oak, creme caramel and a hint of brioche. Heavily botrytised, it’s unctuous and luscious, extending with intensity and viscosity with penetrative lemon, apricot, peach and honeyed notes backed by nuances of sweet vanilla and marmalade. Tightly wrapped in a fresh, lemony acidity, it’s long and persistent, finishing with exceptional balance and freshness." 
 - 95 Points "Burnt orange-gold colour; the colour suggests a particularly rich Noble One, but in fact it is less full-bodied and luscious than expected; tangy acidity underlies the burnt creme brulee and poached fig/crystallised citrus fruit flavours. A very interesting wine, ready now."

 - 94 Points "Deep golden coloured semillon, tending slightly amber. An attractive tinge of barrel in the complexity of aromas which include almond meal and toffee, together with marmalade and apricot jam notes. The palate is elegant and balanced with good line and harmony. It’s not over the top. Lovely wine, and quite complex."

 - UK "A 2013 Decanter World Wine Awards Regional Trophy winner. Unctuous in its kumquat marmalade, honey, apricot jam, toffee and crème brulee flavours, enlivened by bitter tangelo zest freshness."
 - UK "Rich with smoky hints and an orangey nose. Honeycomb, ginger and golden syrup dominate a palate layered with expressive guava and honeyed apricot. Zesty finish."
 - 4.5 Stars "Australia’s benchmark dessert wine in its latest vintage release showing all the golden splendour — with a faint green/gold tinge — that excites the eyes. It follows with wow-factor delights of citrus marmalade, dark honey and spicy tang of acidity that balances the sweetness inherent in the style — it’s eminently satisfying."
 - Top 10 Australian icons to invest in... "Darren De Bortoli created this peerless dessert wine 30 years ago, it remains the benchmark."
 - 95 Points "Celebrating its 30th birthday last year, Noble One holds its position among benchmark Australian botrytis semillon, and the 2009 release is outstanding. Its bright, golden honey hue announces glorious aromas of cumquat marmalade, apricot jam and vanilla, with just a hint of savoury reduction. The palate is unctuous, with toffee, crème brûlée and apricot jam, delightfully enlivened by a bitter tangelo zest freshness on a very long and honeyed finish. 28 at Cracka."
 - 94 Points "Starts off the eye-seduction with it's bright golden colour... a lick of lime juice finishes the wine's satiny profile, through residual honeyed characters roll around the palate for ages. This brighter styling suits this impressively decadent wine." 
 - 96 Points "Probably Australia’s most famous dessert-style wine that was first made by Darren De Bortoli in 1982. It has been subtly refined over the years and is justifiably regarded as one of our great wines. It’s obviously sweet and yet the balance of oak and acid holds it with restraint and control so that it carries to a very long finish. Great wine."

 - "Very deep colour. Plenty of sweetness and varietal flavour with nutty, citrus overtones. It’s still holding up well." - 4 stars
 - 95 Points "Deep burned gold/amber colour. An intense semillon with edgy citrus peel and marmalade aromas, lots of botrytis, rich and fully sweet to the point of lusciousness. Burnt toffee. Mellow, mature, long palate with a little grip in the tail. Good flavour and balance. Lots of richness and lusciousness. A little bit goes a long way. A classic Australian style."
 - UK "One of the great sweet wines, this isn't cheap but is still affordable considering its legendary quality. With depth and decadent baked apple and wild honey notes, it will live for 20 years and drink perfectly every day."
 - UK "Imagine honey drizzled over fresh tangerines, peaches and scented quince with a little butterscotch and you get a good idea of this luscious dessert wine. Complex and compelling."
 - "...Julie Mortlock's ever-astounding De Bortoli Noble One 2008(£16.99, Waitrose). Yes, I have recommended this delightful dessert wine before (it's amazing, vintage upon vintage) but I feel I must again: it has toffee, golden syrup, ginger, lemon and much, much more. Utterly delicious."
 - "Oh boy, what a delicious drop! Arguably our finest dessert wine, this multiawarded Riverina-produced sticky is renowned the world over for its sheer brilliance in delivering classic voluptuous sweet flavours from semillon fruit. What started as an unfashionable style three decades ago, has blossomed into a triumph for this pioneering clan."
 - 4.5 Stars "The benchmark Australian sweet wine, crafted from botrytis affected semillon grapes, deep gold in the glass, heady blossoms, rich apricot jam and quince jam aromatics. These roll around the mouth without any sense they’ll become cloying, a light acidity holding in a delightful freshness." 
 - "One of the worlds great stickies now celebrating its 30th birthday. Oozes class, luscious and lovely, citrus, stonefruit and marmalade fruit spectrum coupled with a hint of spice and spritely acidity. Yummy."
 - "...It is amber-hued with opulent aromas of cumquat marmalade and pecan nuts. Luscious apricot flavour rolls on to the front of the palate and elements of quince, mixed peel and nutty oak combine on the middle. The finish maintains the sweet fruitiness with a touch of flinty acid."
 - Canada "This dessert wine rules! Want visions of sugarplums in your head this holiday… Bring it, with this wine! A lusciously layered dessert wine with rick aromas and flavours of honeyed apricot and peach preserves. Triple yum!" 
 - UK "A justly famous dessert wine from Australia, this is deliciously rich, with spicy apricot fruit braced by a deliciously citrussy freshness. It may be pricey but it's worth pushing the boat out for. Delicious to drink now, it could also be put down for 20 years." 
 - "... Luscious sweet, intense flavours of orange, cumquat and vanilla, yet not over the top and full blown. Great line and length too." 
 - USA 94 Points "Rich and sweet, offering a vibrant mouthful of deeply honeyed pear and pineapple flavors, extending into the long, pillowy finish."
 - "Noble One is sensational year in year out and this 2008 is a more forward proposition than recent vintages with intense honey notes and a fat mandarin palate and an apricot-skin-fresh finish. The 2009 vintage which rolls our way around the end of the year is another exceptional wine (19/20!!) with a haunting aroma, telltale ripe citrus theme and there are even some 500ml bottles available if you stick your hand up now! The thought that the traditional 375ml container can be improved by 125mls is too much to handle – pass the smelling salts, or better still a glass of Noble One!"
 - UK "One of Australia's best known dessert wines, this is made from Semillon grape and becomes sweet thanks to a (good) vine disease which dehydrates the grape and so increases the sugar to water ratio. It has really vibrant aromas of peaches and cream." 
 - Canada "Australia’s greatest dessert wine is back. De Bortoli Noble One 2008 Botrytis Semillon is pressed from semillon grapes affected by noble rot (as opposed to bad gray rot) which concentrates sugars and yields an elixir of hedonistic proportions, with mandarin tangerine, apricot jam, and acacia honey elements. Yes, think foie gras or fruit flans to accompany."
 - "It goes without saying that Noble One is one of the world's great sweet wines with an unrivalled show record. Opulent, sophisticated sweet semillon, marmalade, citrus, apricot and honey all backed up by some racy acidity."
 - 95 Points "De Bortoli does it again, living up to its reputation as the countrys most thrilling sweet Semillon. It's a celebration of dried apricot, honey, toffee, créme brulée and marmalade but really comes into its own in the way it balances its unctuous complexity with a fresh, clean, long palate." 
 - UK "From one of the most famous aussie wine producer to perhaps the most well known (and best?) sweet white. De Bortoli has been crafting their legendary and decadent 'stickie' for over 25 years now and this latest vintage is definitely no break from the mould. Produced from grapes which have been attacked by this miraculous rot called botrytis which concentrates all the flavour, this decadent yet refined treat is choc-full of apricot, honey, creme caramel flavours that will provide a truly stylish match for apple pie and custard. Or simply enjoy it on its own to really sign off a meal in style."
 - "Weighed down with awards and accolades this is truly an amazing wine. One expects over the top richness and yes it is quite opulent, yet it's all kept in balance with complex and elegant orange blossom / marmalade nuance, tangy citrus acidity providing structure and keeping it all nice and tight, while there's also this beautiful peaches-and-cream fullness to the overall feel of the wine. Indulgent yes, but then hey, why not? It's not everyday you get to drink an Australian icon."
 - UK  A classic Australian sticky, De Bortoli's Noble One is, like many of the world's best sweet wines, made from grapes that have been affected by a benign form of fungal disease (botrytis or 'noble' rot), which gives it a distinctly honeyed character. With its exceptionally rich, quince jelly flavours, this is a great match for stilton and fruity desserts.
 - 96 Points Best Sweet Wine "Simply a marvellous wine that has delivered so consistently over nearly thirty years, this has deep golden colour in the glass and smells of rich marmalade and dried apricot, with nutty nuances and cumquat rind. The palate's dense yet beautifully balanced, built in layers of texture and rich citrus flavour, yet finishing with impressive balance style. A triumph!"
 - 93 Points "Long, very luscious and concentrated, with a spicy, almost varnishy bouquet of apricot, peach and honey with undertones of cinnamon, cloves and ginger, a hint of creme caramel and tightly integrated fresh vanilla oak. Unusually oily and viscous - even by the standard of this wine - it's unctuous presence of stonefruit, tangerine and tropical fruits extends with pleasing length, finishing with fresh, zesty acids and a lingering core of flavour." 
 - 95 Points "Bright yellow-gold; the vast experience of De Bortoli with this style results in a wine with rich, opulent and sweet fruit balanced by the acidity missing from lesser wines; cumquat, mandarin, honey and vanilla are all part of the package."
 - 5 Gold Stars 92 Points "Getting more refined each year with orange blossom and intense tropical botrytis aromas with syrupy luscious apricot peach flavours."
 - 94 Points "A classic Noble One, with balance, finesse, oodles of richness, early complexity, honey, apricot, citrus, opulence, lingering persistence and more."
 - USA 94 Points "Medium gold colored, De Bortoli’s 2008 Noble One gives a youthfully mute, moderately intense nose of orange blossom, clover honey, jasmine, apricot preserves and dried pineapple chunks. The palate is incredibly concentrated and sweet (231 grams per liter of residual sugar) with layers of tropical fruit and honeyed flavors well refreshed by very crisp acid and going into a very long finish. Delicious now, it will reward cellaring over the next 2-10 years."

 - "...The vintage is 2007 and this rich, over the top sticky opulent style is, to me, absolutely fantastic. The sweetness also has a certain acidity which balances and rounds off everything perfectly. The end result is that the conversation and banter immediately stops while everyone just concentrates on the wine and the rich peach, mandarin, kumquat, vanilla and honey flavours that are erupting in your mouth combined with the long sweet aftertaste. The only word is ‘wow’! If you are searching for a white wine full of fruit flavours to accompany a dessert or meal then this is it. It works extremely well with cheese, the flavours pair perfectly with the salt hit of cheese. This wine is also suitable for vegetarians."
 - UK "This is a classic and Australia's most famous dessert wine. It's made from semillon grapes that have been shrivelled and concentrated by a fungus called botrytis, and the result is deliciously rich and pure, with sweet apricot flavours, great acidity and spicy complexity. Try it with the pear and almond tart." 
 - USA 94 Points "De Bortoli's Noble One is as good as ever in 2007, offering intense botrytis, dried apricots, honey and bergamot in a sweetly unctuous style.  Think of a Sauternes, but with more sugar and less alcohol.  It should age well for 10 or more years." 
 - SWEET TREAT "This is the 25th anniversary of De Bortoli's consistently impressive botrytis-affected sticky. It's light in alcohol at just 10 per cent but intense in flavours, with an unctuous palate of peach, marmalade and spice, balanced by a wonderful citrussy freshness."
 - UK "Australia's iconic sweet wine has been on flying form lately, discovering extra layers of refinement while still retaining its impressive power. Its smoky, caramel-loaded palate will lap up the sticky brioche slices while tropical fruits deal with the nectarines. Underneath lies a steely core of acid to refresh." 
 - "De Bortoli Noble One, an Australian icon. The 2007 is an overtly sweet wine with lashings of oak, tight acidity and a striking botrytis character of dried apricot and orange peel. Dessert wine with the volume turned up."
 - Canada "And finally, for those with a sweet tooth, De Bortoli Noble One 2007 Botrytis Semillon, an Aussie Sauternes-style dessert white, with peach, apricot, honeycomb and pansy notes. Amazing with foie gras." 
 - UK "De Bortoli?s Noble One is a great wine. This 2007, sealed with a screwcap, is a baby and it probably needs five years minimum to truly express itself, but it is already detailed enough and tart enough on the finish to signal a very good vintage indeed. I don?t like attacking grand wines like this too young, but there is a guilty pleasure here that is hard to refuse. To my mind, this is a smartest young Noble One in a decade. Buy it, drink some, keep lots."
 - Canada "Ideal for picking oneself up after a bad day. Australia's most celebrated dessert wine is intensely honeyed with a touch of bitter orange. Glorious on its own or with rich starters, puddings or cheese. It's worth tucking away to see how it develops."
 - USA 94 Points "Possessing a pale gold color, the aromas of the 2007 Noble One are still very primary – lemon curd, acacia honey, jasmine, mandarin peel, cedar and a whiff of complexity-instilling VA. Very crisp, concentrated and intense on the palate with a great mid-palate adding to the layers of complexity. Fully sweet with a very long finish. Drink now for a fruitier style or this should develop wonderfully through 2022." 
 - Canada 91 Points "Has notes of honey, spice, lemon, fresh straw, dried apricots and fresh peaches can be used to describe a wine that is simply intense. Quite sweet and almost creamy in the mouth, but it has good depth and complexity. A touch young, but this is a steal for laying down for mid-to-long-term cellaring."
 - Canada "It’s always a treat to taste the best of the Australian stickies, the term they use for dessert wines. Noble One is iconic and marking its 25th anniversary in this vintage. Oh boy, here come the flavours: apricot, marmalade, peach, sweet biscuit, nougat, honey, butterscotch. It’s gentler than our icewine but amazingly fresh."
 - "From NSW Riverina semillon and one of the nation?s best known sweeties around the world."
 - UK "For pudding, have the creamy carmelised Aussie 2007 Noble One Botrytis Semillon." 
 - 95 PointsBrilliant green-gold; has all the luscious intensity expected, ranging through citrus, cumquat and vanilla bean, yet is not over the top. Its best features are its balance, line and extreme length, similar to that of the '02.
 - "A brilliantly complex, super sweet wine with great balance between the luscious, ripe apricot and peach fruit and cutting citrussy acid. Pricey but ideal with creamy puddings."
 - "With a pud as rich and delicious as the gateau Basque, splash out on the equally luscious, creamy, faintly caramelised 2007 Noble One Botrytis Semillon from Aussie champions De Bortoli."
 - "Full scale candied pineapple with rich, concentrated candied pear, peach and apricot. A whole riot of tropical and autumn fruit just partying away in there. It all comes together elegantly. The wine has great concentration and lusciousness, oak married perfectly into the wine. Such an intense wine."
 - "Medium gold in color with amber highlights, this wine has an intense nose of candied orange peel and pineapple aromas. In the mouth the wine has fantastic acidity, which keeps its flavors of pineapple and dried mango from becoming syrupy, despite its silky texture. The wine lacks some deeper complexity, but ice cold, it's a nice little dessert in a glass."
 - "Quite youthful and spicy, with pronounced citrus peel botrytis and a whiff of new oak. The palate is long and lively, with a slight volatile lift. Give it a couple of years."
 - "Noble one, which has won more trophies than just about any other Australian wine, was born in 1982 during a bold attempt to create a sauternes-style sweet wine from botrytis-affected grapes. From the latest installment you can expect a nose bursting with stone fruit, marmalade and spice, while the palate is fresh. Serve with pavlova."
 - <div>TOP 5"The unchallenged Aussie pack leader, this 25th anniversary bottling is crammed with citrus/honey semillon flavours."</div>
 - 'Deep golden straw in colour. The 2007 Noble One marked the wine's 25th anniversary since its first vintage in 1982. A possibly oak-derived cedar aroma on the nose with blossom. apricot and a volatile acidity lift gave the wine overall complexity. The panel agreed that this wine exhibited great varietal expression with notes of honey, toffee, pineapple, apricot and dried fruits. The rich, full-bodied, sweet and well balanced palate with great weight and some oak extract countered the high sugar level. Flavours of orange rind, apricot, pear, citrus and passionfruit. Great acid balance to close the wine's finish and give it freshness."
 - 95 points"The 25th vintage is a cracking rendition of Australia's most famous Botrytis Semillon. Citrus zest, peach and apricot freshness offset its honeyed, crème brûlèe richness. The balance of tight acidity and sweetness is spot on."
 - ***** "THIS granddaddy of Australian botrytised sweet white wines seems to get even better with each release. The shiny golden '07 is the 25th anniversary vintage. Lovely mandarin, honey and lemon characters with subtle oak blossom in the mouth into a superbly luscious, sweet, complex wine of great depth and persistence."
 - "A fine meal deserves a fitting end and dessert wine is a supremely sophisticated salute to satisfaction. Our pick, along with most of the world's, is Noble One Botrytis Semillon. Celebrating its 25th Anniversary 2007 vintage, this nectar of the gods has enticing aromas of bush honey and peach, and a palate of dried stone fruits."
 - "Australia’s benchmark dessert wine is a bit lighter, fresher and more vibrant in 2007 than in most vintages. It is fine yet intense, with delicate apricot, honey and marmalade flavours and gentle power, before a finish in which crisp natural acidity cleanses the palate. Impeccably balanced."
 - 10/10 "Reserved and complex, still deep fruited three fruits crystallised citrus and pure botrytis sea saltiness. Fine and pure in the mouth too, creamy down the middle with concentrated glace pear and peach flavours. A long, lush finish with just the right balancing acid and oak nuttiness to close. Smart sweet wine this, which will evolve well for a decade."
 - "Wet spells led to good botrytis and this is very citrus and fresh with grapefruit as well as rounder, honeyed peach and tropical pineappley/rum baba notes.  Long, long finish. 10%, residual not given.  Great potential. (100% screw cap)"
 - 95 points "The 25th vintage is a cracking rendition of Australia's most famous Botrytis Semillon. Citrus zest, peach and apricot freshness offset its honeyed, crème brûlée richness. The balance of tight acidity and sweetness is spot on."
 - "This is the wine Prime Minister Kev gave the Pope on his recent visit to Rome. Well, almost - it was the 2006 vintage, in fact. Now in its 25th year, Noble One has established itself as Australia's premier sweet white. This is lush and decadent, with mouth-coating honey and marmalade flavours. Grab some blue cheese and you can't go wrong. That's what the Pope told me, anyway."
 - 95 points "This is the 25th vintage of Australia's best known and most highly regarded sweet wine, which has won 104 trophies and 352 gold medals since the release of the 1982 vintage. Brilliant green-gold, it has all the luscious intensity expected of the wine, ranging through citrus, cumquat and vanilla bean, yet is not over the top. Its best features are its balance, line and extreme length, similar to that of 02."
 - "I reckon the 2007 Noble One, as a young wine, is the best yet. There is a taste of dried fruit, but it is subtle. The mandarin characteristics, which tend to dominate with age, are restrained, as is the honey and the acidity already in balance. If you haven't tried it, please do so with your favourite end-of-dinner food. This is a world-class wine, and you won't be disappointed."
 - 94 points "The 25th vintage of this classy botrytised semillon shows dried apricot, peach, honey, spice and vanilla oak on the nose and palate with a cleansing acid finish. It's delicious already with desserts or blue cheese but will be even more luscious in another five years."
 - 93 points "Wonderful example of this great wine. Aromas of nectarine, honey and stone fruits on the nose with a lift of light citrus. There is a little obvious vanillin oak infused into the rich honey and concentrated stone fruit on the palate. A wine of texture and sublime depth and lusciousness."
 - "The 25th-anniversary release of the iconic botrytis semillon lives up to the hype. Silky smooth, luscious, opulent and complex; this is a truly great wine. Pair it with blue cheese or a game terrine."
 - The Quaff 2009 'Light, Bright and Easy' Best White Wine Under $10 Award "This is a revelation - a delicious quaffing white at a bargain-basement price. It's soft, round and juicy, almost fleshy, with ripe tropical fruit flavours that are youthful, fresh and bright."

 - UK "Australia's most famous sweet wine and finer than more pricier French wines, this is the connoisseur's choice for the queen of puddings." 
 - I’ve been privileged to drink several Noble One vintages, and it would have to be the most awarded wine on the Australian and International circuit with 104 trophies and more than 350 gold medals to it’s credit. I shared this vintage last Saturday at our friends and family Christmas get-together. We only shared a small glass of 60 ml, but it was enough to be super impressed by its layers of luscious, but not to viscous subtle apricot and marmalade sweetness washing over the tongue. The wine lingered for some time. It’s seamless and so well balanced. We matched it with blue cheese and dried apricots. 
 - UK "One of the best dessert wines produced in Australia, based on Semillon grapes. The honey, orange and apricot flavours matured in oak pair well with Christmas pudding and the meringues." 
 - 93/100 "10% alcohol. Very rich, bold fruit here: peach jam, fine cut marmalade and lemon cordial jostle for space with spicy complexity and good acidity keeping things fresh. Lovely concentration: it’s viscous and mouthfilling, yet beautifully balanced. Finishes very sweet with some syrup notes. With this much sugar and acidity, this will live a long time, especially seeing as it is screwcapped"
 - "One of the finest New World dessert wines, with complex notes of barley sugar, peach and marmalade. Try a small, cool glass with rich pates or salty blue cheese for starters."
 - UK One of the finest New World dessert wines, with complex notes of barley sugar, peach and marmalade. Try a small, cool glass with rich pates or salty blue cheese for starters.
 - "The intense sweetness and sugar in this dessert wine help act as preservatives. It will develop more complex aromas and flavours with a few years of cellaring."
 - "A dry year reflected in a luscious, round palate with creamy fruit salad, peach tea/peach syrup and vanilla; nonetheless, good freshness and persistence to the finish.  10%, residual not given. (100% screw cap)"
 - "Fine, yet intense, with delicate apricot, honey and marmalade flavours that linger."
 - "This is Australia's benchmark sweet white and rightly so - liquid gold in a glass. There is honey, vanilla and cedar from the French oak used, on the nose. You get apricots peaches, honeyed marmalade on the palate. It's luscious and syrupy, but not cloyingly sweet. It's all seamless, balanced and the flavours go long, long, long with a fine acidity providing a fresh, tangy finish."
 - Highly Recommended "The nose is very intense showing citrus peel botrytis, fresh peachy fruit, new oak and a slight VA lift. The palate follows, reflecting the nose and just avoids cloying."
 - "This is Australia's grande marque sticky. Celebrating 25 years, with some 345 gold medals. Luscious gold with stewed quince and glace fruit aromatics, it's think and viscous and the flavour goes on and on."
 - "De Bortoli Noble One botrytis semillon 2006 is the lastest in a line of magnificent stickies dating back to 1982, winner of more than 100 trophies, 345 gold medals and rightly labelled Australia's benchmark sweet white wine."
 - 93 points "This is a fantastic vintage for Noble One. It's packed with toffee, honey, lemon butter, sweet spices and dried fruit, and yet it's fresh and zesty. The interplay between its fresh acidity, honeyed and sweetness and crème brûlée smoothness gives it a real sense of poise and dignity. Noble, indeed."
 - 92 points "Sweet and silky, this is complex with apricot, dried pear, wet hay and cream flavors that persist into the long, deftly balanced finish. Not at all sugary. Ends with mouthwatering lemon notes."
 - "A top-class effort whose lavish, luxuriant expression of concentrated fruit, tightly knit oak and refreshing acidity combine to give it rare shape, structure and vinosity in wines of this style. A luscious, syrupy and soft-cushioned expression of lemon, stonefruit, honey and marmalade moves seamlessly down the palate, finishing with a gentle, but pronounced punctuation and focus."
 - 94 points “Very intense botrytis characters, with marmalade, peaches and cream and just a little hint of spice; very long and very sweet.”
 - "Since 1982, this has been regarded as Australia's best dessert wine and the inspiration behind the Riverina's push to feature botrytis semillon as the finest achievement of the region. This is dense, powerful, opulent and complex: some cedary notes are still there on the nose while the palate highlights concentrated apricot, lemon rind and marmalade flavours, satiny smoothly viscosity before zesty acidity provides a pristine,dry finish of considerable finesse."
 - "This wine is as good as ever, Its bitter orange, ripe cumquat and dried apricot characters will provide you with a true feast for the senses."
 - "Sauternes-style, from one of my favourite Australian producers. Squirrel it away and reap the rewards for years to come."
 - "A more delicate style of Noble One, the 2006 vintage has plenty of noble barley sugar and tropical fruit flavour with moderate sweetness. Best of all it finishes fresh and long."
 - "One of Australia's great sweet wines, this is soft and luscious, with honeyed notes and refreshing acidity." 
 - "This Australian benchmark has aromas of apricot nectar, marmalade and kumquat that lead onto a luscious, balanced palate." 
 - "This is Australia's best 'stickie' and a benchmark for the style. Brilliantly complex and luscious with aromas of peach, cumquat, nectarine with an overlay of thick honey. The multi-layered palate is rich and luscious. The sweet, opulent fruit is balanced with a lovely fine acidity." 
 - <img src="uploads/RTEmagicC_70d16615a8.gif.gif" width="64" height="12" alt="" /> " The grandaddy of Australian botrytised sweet wines remains superb. This latest release shows the usual marmalade, honey, apricot and peach fruit, dressed in subtle French oak, but it's a tad more elegant than usual. Sweet, luscious flavour and fine but lush texture make for a luxurious experience, finishing deliciously long and tangy."
 - "De Bortoli have have inspired a legion of imitators but this remains the standout stickie in Australia; a stylish botrytis semillon with intense aromas and a rich, luscious palate oozing with stone fruit and citrus flavours. Great with blue cheese."
 - "Approaching its 25th vintage, De Bortoli's Noble One was the first and is still one of the very best examples of Australian botrytis semillon. It's intensely flavoured with candied fruit and vanilla in abundance."
 - "Wow, De Bortoli's faithful Noble One might be nudging 25 vintages but this 2006 release is as modern and attractive as you're ever going to find in this country when it comes to rich, botrytis-affected stickies. It really is a very stylish, finely-tuned drop with excellent acidity giving the wine  the balance of a tight-rope walker. It took gold at London's recent International Wine Challenge, and must surely have earned every point."
 - "A gem from the Riverina whose delicious, concentrated flavours ensure that its standing as Australia's finest dessert wine remains unchallenged." 
 - 97 points "The Riverina's pioneering botrytis combines finesse and elegance with luscious sweetness. There's a lick of top-drawer oak and the sweet, lush flavour has a long tangy finish. Delicious." 
 - Highly Recommended "A quite restrained Noble One, offering citrus and pineapple together with a well judged touch of oak. The palate is richly sweet, but doesn't cloy."

There are honeysuckle and honeycomb, and it's as sweet as a wine can be, without going sickly... Crisp acidity, good length, and the tang of orange zest, one could easily pair De Bortoli Noble One 2001 with a lithe tarte tatin, a floating island (oeufs à la neige or ile flotant, if you want to be all French about it), or the right kind of cheese plate, but this wine is serious enough to stand alone as it is it's own course and experience.

Apricot and rose petal scents, with lots more late-summer fruits on the palate: honey and lemon verbena later. Intense, but satisfying layered, too. What we missed, we decided, was viscosity – and then we noticed the label read just like 11% alcohol; a contrast with Sauternes. Alcohol is texture too."

 - 'It exudes dusty apricot, marmalade and lime jelly scents, and floods sweet, citric,lively, apricot, honey and toffee flavours through the mouth, with just enough bite to keep it straight and pure. Beautiful stuff.' 
 - 'This fine wine leads Australia's sweet white stakes for consistency and excellence. The wines of the 1990s have been superb and this vintage is typical; a brilliant gold sheen, richly sweet candied citrus, peach and spice aromas and a long, super-intense, tangy palate that just goes on and on. Goes well with strong cheeses.' 
 - 'Deeply coloured. A powerful, honeyed nose. Very concentrated fruit on the palate. Evident botrytis. Good structure, complexity and spiced fruit definition. A long, luscious finish.' 
 - 'The undisputed king of the world of stickies since it was first made in 1982. Glowing yellow-gold, with the near-searing intensity of the botrytis balancing the sweetness and producing a layered bouquet of lime marmalade and cumquat. The palate is long and intense, with excellent lemony acidity on the finish.'
 - 'Intense, wonderful citrus peel, earth and candied fruit nose. Very sweet and dense palate with good balance and acidity. Long toffee length.' 
 - 'There's rich apricot and orange characters on the nose and the palate of this stunning sweet white with intense, concentrated, rich fruit and a crisp, clean finish. Try it now with fruit-based desserts or cellar for several years.'

 - "Fresh bouquet of lemons and limes with orange rind botrytis character and hint of tobacco. A clean, structured and well-balanced sweet palate. Lovely depth of fruit flavours nicely balanced by acid." 
 - "Has been clearly the benchmark for Sauterne-style dessert wines. Semillon grapes; supremely sweet and concentrated mass of flavour. A little bit of oak and crisp acid completes the delicious marmalade and dried fruit mix." 
 - "Not the first, but certainly the most successful Sauternes style made in Australia. All the flavour and richness of the Gramp's wine with the power knob turned right up to 11. Ageing in new French oak has added an additional layer of weight and complexity to this icon wine. Still the one."

 - "This is Australia's premier botrytised sweet wine and it has never been better. The bouquet is tight and complex with peach, sweet citrus, tea leaves and spicy oak. In the mouth it's lush and sweet with smooth, long flavour, a tasty lick of oak and a dry finish." 
 - "The leader of the pack. Some quibble about the degree of new French oak that shows in its youth (the newly released 1997, for example) but for layered complexity, this marque is hard to beat. The 1997 had nutty, toasty, cedary oak aromas with mixed peel and marmalade. The luscious palate was enlivened by a persuasive thread of fine acidity and the flavour is rich and profound. The oak was barely showing in the 1996, which seemed a finer style with butterscotch, smoky nuances, a rich chewy texture and powerful finish."
 - ***** "Nice golden green hues. Well-developed nutty/toasty nose showing some lifted apricot and apple aromas mingled with botrytis characters. Luscious, rich and complex, the palate has great structure with lovely flavours of mandarins and marmalade." 
 - "Gold color - very bright. Young and fresh with squeaky clean botrytis. White peach and citrus. Very sweet and jammy boiled fruit character. Very youthful, sweet citric aftertaste."

 - "Straw gold. Ripe tropical fruits. Again, pineapple botrytised fruit. Some honeyed fruit characters. Palate luscious and concentrated. Very long. Very good acidity. Lots of botrytised fruit." 
 - "Since its debut in 1982 (which won more than 50 gold medals and 10 trophies), this has been Australia's premier dessert style wine. The 1996 continues the quality with its intense brandied orange botrytis flavours and delightfully long finish. These wines will develop an extra degree of complexity and mellowness if allowed to age." Ken Gargett, Courier Mail, 7th April 1999

 - "Once again Noble One was the top scoring wine in the Wine International's ten year on tasting for sweet wine with a score of 92 points. It was the only Australian wine in the segment and scored higher than wines from Sauternes, Alsace, Austria, Germany, South Africa and Canada. A lovely nose that is full of richly botrytic orange fruit, balanced by wonderful acidity."

 - "A relatively wet year, though Darren took the view they should proceed because “I’m sure the French were making wines from grapes in worse condition!”   He pointed out that this wine didn’t have the typical brown furry mould but rather a black sooty mould.   Deep amber in colour it showed a well developed, spicy tarte tatin brulee character with fleshier and a bit woollier apricots cut with slightly angular acidity. Although there’s quite good length and persistence with calisson, orange peel & pith to its spicy, nutty finish it’s not as well balanced as the previous wines.

 - "A powerful vintage from one of the best botrytis years ever seen (which accelerated from a light infection to 100% botrytis in a few days).  The botrytis is marked by a glorious fresher, honeyed nose with saffron hints and that bruléed apple/tarte tatin character.   There’s also a hint of buttermint on nose and a palate which is wow, very tight with superb concentration and depth of flavour (pithy, spicy marmalade). Very long and focused  – still good ageing potential.  Exceptional.  121g/l residual sugar/13.6% abv"

 - "the maiden vintage with ideal conditions for noble rot infection.  A deep, bright amber core with a yellow rim.  The nose shows a spicy marmalade/orange peel character with a barley sugar twist.  Quite warm, with flavours of barley sugar, apricot and buttery bruléed apple tart.  Good acidity still, with texture/tannin and a spicy marmalade finish; on a plateau. 129g/l residual sugar/12% abv."

 - 94 Points Intense "Concentrated, pure and persistent notes of eraser, honeycomb, beeswax, apricot paste, green fig, tangerine, candied lime peel and smoked stone. Rich and unctuous across the palate, with tactile layers of herbal syrup and honeyed intrigue. Length for days. One of the iconic sweet wines of the world."
 - 90 Points "Polished, sweet and silky, layering deeply honeyed pear and apricot compote and clove flavors. Drink now through 2020."
 - "A luscious orange blossom and intense tropical aromas with syrupy, luscious apricot and peach flavours. With a palate that lingers, it’s delectably moreish."
 - "This highly awarded and pedigreed botrytised dessert wine is made in the style of the great French Sauternes. It's a sophisticated joy ride of lush marmalade, candled citrus and creamy honey undertones, but the inherent acidity keeps everything on track. It can be cellared for up to a decade — but why not drink it now?"
 - 92 Points "Rather evolved and toasty, this oaky and relatively uncomplicated expression of this wine has a pungent, spicy and smoky bouquet of toffee apple and creme brulee backed by notes of cloves and cinnamon. It's very intense and luscious, with a molasses-like note beneath it's candied and quite toasty presence of raisined, syrupy fruit."

 - "The stand-out wine from this leading Riverina based family winery, a pathfinder for botrytis wines in Australia. It's tremendously rich and sweet, the sort of wine you sip in small amounts rather than gulp, because of its lusciousness. It's great with blue cheeses. Golden coloured, and barrel fermented (which adds toasty nutty notes), it's very complex with leading nuances of marmalade and mixed peel, vanilla, honey and apricot jam."
 - <div>"Celebrate with an icon of Australian wine. Noble One has layers of ripe botrytis fruit, citrus, nectarine, honey and cumquat. A touch of acidity refreshes with length and structure, delivering a balanced, indulgent wine. This beautifully packaged bottle is the perfect accompaniment to a cheese platter."</div>
 - 94 Points "Deep golden coloured semillon, tending slightly amber. An attractive tinge of barrel in the complexity of aromas which include almond meal and toffee, together with marmalade and apricot jam notes. The palate is elegant and balanced with good line and harmony. It’s not over the top. Lovely wine, and quite complex."
 - 96 Points "Glorious aromas of cumquat marmalde, apricot jam and vanilla with a hint of savoury reduction that does not reappear on the palate, which is unctuous with toffee, creme brulee and apricot jam, enlivened by a bitter tangello zest freshness."
 - "...De Bortoli’s Noble One Botrytis Semillon is a classic with botrytis-led marmalade richness and stone fruits. It is impossible not to be happy drinking this sweetie..."
 - UK "A 2013 Decanter World Wine Awards Regional Trophy winner. Unctuous in its kumquat marmalade, honey, apricot jam, toffee and crème brulee flavours, enlivened by bitter tangelo zest freshness."
 - UK "Rich with smoky hints and an orangey nose. Honeycomb, ginger and golden syrup dominate a palate layered with expressive guava and honeyed apricot. Zesty finish."
 - 96 Points "Noble One has long established itself as the best botrytis semillon in Australia, and this vintage simply reinforces that reputation; fruit, oak, luscious fruit and acidity all play their part on the extremely long and complex palate."
 - 95 Points "Bright gold honey hue. Glorious aromas of cumquat marmalade, apricot jam and vanilla, with a hint of savoury reduction that does not reappear on the palate. The palate is unctuous with toffee, creme brulee and apricot jam, enlivened by a bitter tangello zest freshness on a long and honeyed finish. Outstanding."
 - 4.5 Stars "Australia’s benchmark dessert wine in its latest vintage release showing all the golden splendour — with a faint green/gold tinge — that excites the eyes. It follows with wow-factor delights of citrus marmalade, dark honey and spicy tang of acidity that balances the sweetness inherent in the style — it’s eminently satisfying."
 - Top 10 Australian icons to invest in... "Darren De Bortoli created this peerless dessert wine 30 years ago, it remains the benchmark."
 - 9.3 "Flash stuff in a flash box so whoever you give it to will be under no illusion about what you think of them. Better share it though."
 - 5 1/2 STARS "...Amber-hued with opulent aromas of cumquat marmalade and pecan nuts. Luscious apricot flavour rolls on to the front of the palate and elements of quince, mixed peel and nutty oak combine on the middle. The finish maintains the sweet fruitiness with a touch of flinty acid."
 - 93 Points "From Riverina and in its 27th vintage, this iconic wine inspired winemakers to try new styles. Made from 100 per cent semillon, it's rich and vibrant with layers of intense botrytis fruit."

 - "Full golden-bronze; long experience has taught De Bortoli how to maximise the sweetness and richness without cloying the mouth. Indeed, the finish to the honey, creme brulee and cumquat marmalade flavours is seemingly almost dry - which it isn't, of course." - 95 points
 - "With so many wines in the market, it is sometimes easy to forget about the classics. This Noble One Botrytis Semillon is as satisfying and delicious as ever. Honeyed pear, scented vanilla and subtle spice enlivened by gentle lemon tones. It has great depth of flavour and an open and generous middle. A flavoursome, balanced dessert wine that, despite its very high sugar level, is not cloying or over-sweet. Lovely now but will also cellar well into the future."  - 96 points
 - "One of Australia's most famous dessert wines, botrytised semillon grapes that show in the glass as a darkish golden to light tan. The aromas suggest golden syrup, browned butter, stewed apricot, cumquat marmalade, honeysuckle and honeycomb. So much going on, with similar delicious flavours following, yet kept surprisingly lifted and fresh with a great lime-like twang of acidity." - 4.5 stars
 - "Noble One returns with a marmalade-soaked, syrup-drenched wine with an aftertaste which lasts for a month, and it reminds us that no matter how many junior, epic-tasting wines that this supreme company makes for the High Street, when it comes to the real deal, this wine is head and shoulders above the competition. I have tasted every vintage of this wine made since its inception and they have all been stunning. They all age like clockwork, too. Well done De Borts – you are doing heroic work with your exceptional suite of sweeties."
 - "Deep colour. Complex and slightly toasty, but sweetness rules the roost."
 - "This is the King of Australian dessert wines, always showing intense golden yellow colors. The bouquet explodes with honeyed peach aromas. These secondary layers start to exude Asian spice and vanilla, the palate is smooth and long with nice acidity like candied pineapple. I love this with crème brulee."
 - "This 2014 glows amber in the glass, has scents of toffee and pecan nuts and bursts onto the front of the palate with luscious quince flavour. The middle palate features elements of lychees, apricots, treacle and hazelnutty oak and the finish is sweet with a gunmetal acid underlay."
