Closure: Cork

Grapes for the 1994 Noble One were harvested earlier than usual from late March to early April with selective handpickings from vineyard rows at 20-25 degrees Baume. Material from individual vineyards were fermented separately for 2-3 weeks. Wines were then clarified and stabilised as rapidly as possible and then matured for 12 months maturation in the bottle before release. Tasting notes: Deep gold colour. The nose displays intense botrytis characters with oak complexity. The palate is rich and intense, with ripe peach and orange peel botrytis characters. A finely balanced structure is further enhanced by the extremely complex finish. Winner of two trophies and 11 gold medals to date.
