FAQs For De Bortoli Noble One Botrytis Semillon

How is it made?

Grapes are hand‑harvested from vineyards with a long history of producing high‑quality Botrytis Semillon. Slow pressing and fermentation follow, often lasting three weeks to six months, allowing botrytis complexity to fully develop.

Between 80–90% of the wine is aged in French oak for 12 months at 15°C, adding vanilla warmth and texture. The remaining portion is kept in tank to preserve freshness, resulting in a beautifully balanced dessert wine.

What is botrytis (noble rot)?

Botrytis is a beneficial fungus that develops on ripe grapes under the right weather conditions. It causes the grapes to lose water, concentrating:

  • Natural sugars
  • Fruit flavours
  • Aromatic compounds
  • Complexity

It is the same technique used to create some of the world’s most famous sweet wines.

What is the difference between Botrytis Semillon and regular Semillon?

Regular Semillon is typically a dry white wine with citrus and herbal notes.

Botrytis Semillon:

  • Uses grapes affected by noble rot
  • Has concentrated sweetness
  • Shows flavours of honey, dried fruit, caramel and tropical fruit
  • Develops greater richness and complexity
How long can it age for?

Noble One has exceptional ageing potential and can develop beautifully for 15-20 years or more when stored correctly. With age, it can develop additional flavours such as:

  • Honey
  • Caramel
  • Toasted nuts
  • Marmalade
  • Complex dried fruit notes
