d’Arenberg’s Noble Chardonnay – Super Balance and a Sweet Price

November 24th, 2008 • Related • Filed Under


Yeah, yeah, we get it: you don’t like sweet wines. Well, you just don’t know what you’re missing. Not only is the Noble coming from d’Arenberg – legendary bottlers of Australia’s iconic Dead Arm Shiraz, but the grapes, a wild blend of Chardonnay and Semillon were assaulted by Botrytis.  We loosely define Botrytis as: that weird fungus that’s responsible for some of the world’s greatest dessert wines. It leaves behind a complex apricot, candied orange and caramel laced wine, balanced like a ballerina on a tight rope, suspended between two sky scrapers… you get the point. We love dessert wines.
