95 points Halliday Wine Companion

Minimum order of 1 case or 6 bottles (Mixed or straight)

Fresh lifted aromatics and classic botrytis notes of orange marmalade, citrus and honey make this beloved Noble Riesling the award-winning wine it is. Complex, rich, elegant, and sweet, "Noble Rot" has been a long tradition at Brown Brothers, made in honour of our family's matriarch with handpicked grapes from our Milawa vineyards. 

Food Pairings

A dessert-lover's drink of choice, enjoy this wine with vanilla bean and salted caramel semifreddo, or a baked lemon cheesecake. For something savoury and light pair with blue or washed-rind cheeses, sliced pear, and crackers.

    Hand-picked botrytis-affected riesling fruit from King Valley, given 24 hours' skin contact. Year after year, this wine is incredibly consistent in style and quality. Deep golden hues with the scent of dried apricot, orange marmalade, cumquat, orange peel and dried fig. The palate is dense and sticky, beautifully balanced and textural and deliciously layered in concentrated citrus. Stunning!2023 Sweet Wine of the Year

All these aromas follow through to the palate which is concentrated and complex with a silky mouthfeel. The high natural acidity balances the residual sweetness to provide a refreshingly clean finish.

Peak DrinkingUntil 2030
Growing Conditions

This wine can be challenging to make, however, there lies beauty in its complex and nuanced style. the 2019 vintage was particularly challenging due to early botrytis development following rain; each grape must be carefully picked and harvested at the optimal time - and in the right climatic conditions - to ensure the perfect balance of sweetness and acidity. Fruit for the 2019 vintage was handpicked from mid-April to early June, between 19 and 20 baumé with significant botrytis development.
