Noble One is an award-winning and renowned Australian icon. It is made from sweet, concentrated, half-shrivelled Semillon grapes, resulting in a luscious wine with flavours of peach, citrus and vanilla, and a slightly nutty character.

Silver International Wine Challenge (IWC)

The grapes are harvested by hand and then pressed, which is often a slow process as there is hardly any juice. The juice is clarified, tartaric acid added to adjust pH and then inoculated with a yeast that is able to convert the high sugar content to alcohol with minimal acetic acid production. Fermentation is a long drawn out process as the yeast struggles to ferment and can take anywhere from three weeks to six months to complete. Fermentation temperature is between 14-18C. The wine is then clarified, heat and tartrate stabilised prior to filtration and maturation in either oak or stainless tanks. Between 80-90% is matured in French oak barriques for 12 months with approximately 30% new oak in a temperature controlled room (15C) and the remainder is left in tank

Viticulture

These vineyards are clay/loam soils that hold the moisture from the irrigation. The humid weather and early morning fogs Riverina gets during Autumn cause the botrytis to prosper and infect the grapes allowing the wine to develop the wonderful flavours that Noble One displays. Semillon, being a thin skinned variety, is very susceptible to botrytis which makes it the ideal variety to produce sweet wine.
