De Bortoli Noble One Botrytis Sémillon is a highly acclaimed dessert wine produced by De Bortoli Wines, one of Australia's leading family-owned wineries. This wine is made from Sémillon grapes that have been affected by the noble rot, a natural process that concentrates the sugars and flavors in the grapes. The grapes are sourced from the Riverina region in New South Wales, which is known for its warm climate and fertile soils. The wine is aged in French oak barrels for several months, which adds complexity and depth to the wine. The resulting wine is a luscious and rich dessert wine with flavors of honey, apricot, and citrus, balanced by a refreshing acidity. It is a perfect accompaniment to desserts or can be enjoyed on its own as a sweet treat.
