TASTING NOTES

De Bortoli Noble One 2021 375ml is a distinguished dessert wine celebrated for its exquisite balance and depth. Crafted from Botrytis Semillon grapes sourced from growers with nearly four decades of expertise, this wine showcases a legacy of meticulous cultivation and winemaking excellence.

This iconic wine delivers a vibrant and seductive profile, layering flavors of candied citrus, honey-drenched apricots, and nougat, enriched by nutty vanillin oak. The luscious texture is perfectly balanced by refreshing acidity, creating a harmonious sweetness that captivates the palate.

After harvest, the grapes undergo a unique process where they rest overnight before pressing to maximize flavor and sugar extraction. The juice is then carefully fermented in tanks, with fermentation halted at the ideal moment to preserve the perfect interplay of sweetness, acidity, and alcohol. The wine matures for 12 months in French oak barriques or tanks, enhancing its complexity and elegance.

Accolades include:

  • 2025 National Wine Show of Australia - Trophy and Gold Medal
  • 2024 Cowra, Hobart, Perth, and Rutherglen Wine Shows - Trophies and Gold Medals
  • 2025 UK International Wine Challenge - Gold Medal
  • Multiple Gold Medals from Australian Sweet Wine Awards and regional wine shows

Rated 96 Points by Halliday Wine Companion 2025, this wine is widely regarded as one of Australia’s greatest dessert wines. Its refined character and consistent quality make it a true icon in the sweet wine category.

Scores

97/100

A rich golden straw hue in the glass. Heady on the nose, mango, cumquat and cooking toffee aromatics. A symphony of golden tropical fruits with balancing citrus peel freshness at the top end. Deeper down we find butterscotch and figs all being lifted by powerfully focused acidity and a pithy sense of grip that ensures prodigious length and a finish that astounds with its remarkable sense of vitality.

The Real Review

Scores

96/100

Fresh Kensington mango cheek, lemon verbena and yellow wattle blooming in abundance. Candied pineapple and fresh apricot. Tangerine skin, lemon curd and yuzu. Lusciously sweet and supremely well balanced by nougatine oak and almond shell. Orange blossom honey sweetness with lovely, grainy, pithy grip and a dried apple flesh. A school toffee nostalgia coupled with the wisdom that this wine will live for decades. An icon.
