Award Success at the 2026 National Wine Capital Show

More than forty years after its creation, 2022 Noble One continues to set the benchmark for Australian Botrytis dessert wine. First crafted by Darren De Bortoli in 1982, Noble One remains one of the most awarded wines in Australian history and is internationally recognised for its quality and consistency.

The 2022 vintage displays vibrant aromas of honey, tropical fruits, candied orange peel and gentle spice, leading to a rich palate beautifully balanced by fresh acidity. Produced from carefully selected Riverina vineyards affected by the beneficial Botrytis cinerea fungus, Noble One exemplifies the meticulous vineyard management and patient winemaking that have defined this flagship wine for decades.

Its Trophy for Best Sweet White, alongside a Gold Medal, further reinforces Noble One's enduring reputation as Australia's benchmark Botrytis Semillon. 

The 2025 Estate Vineyard Gamay Noir continued its impressive rise, taking home the Best Red Varietal Trophy alongside a Gold Medal.

Produced from De Bortoli's family-owned Yarra Valley Estate Vineyard, the wine reflects the elegance and purity that Gamay can achieve in Australia's premier cool-climate region. The warm, dry 2025 growing season delivered vibrant fruit and fine natural balance, while careful hand harvesting, wild yeast fermentation and thoughtful winemaking have resulted in a wine with lifted aromas of blue fruits and violets, silky texture and fine tannins.

The result further highlights the growing reputation of Gamay in the Yarra Valley and the ongoing evolution of the Estate Vineyard range.
