FAQs For Growers Touch Botrytis Semillon

How is it made?

Crafted from late‑harvest Semillon affected by noble rot, this dessert wine captures concentrated sweetness and expressive fruit. Botrytis naturally intensifies flavours of apricot, citrus and honey while adding depth and complexity.

Gentle pressing and cool fermentation preserve freshness, while careful maturation develops caramel, toffee and vanilla‑oak nuance. The result is a dessert wine that feels both indulgent and beautifully balanced.

What is botrytis or noble rot?

Botrytis, often called noble rot, is a naturally occurring fungus that develops under ideal vineyard conditions. It gently dehydrates the grapes, concentrating:

  • Natural sugars
  • Fruit flavours
  • Aromas
  • Acidity

This creates rich, complex dessert wines with remarkable depth.

What is the difference between Botrytis Semillon and regular Semillon?

Regular Semillon is usually produced as a dry white wine with citrus and herbal characteristics.

Botrytis Semillon is made from grapes affected by noble rot, creating:

  • Greater sweetness
  • Honeyed richness
  • Concentrated fruit flavours
  • More complexity
How should it be served?

Serve well chilled in a dessert wine glass to highlight its freshness, sweetness and aromatic complexity.
