Country: Australia / The Noble
Variety: Chardonnay-Semillon South Australia
Winery: D’Arenberg / Adelaide
This intriguing stickie is predominantly (94%) Chardonnay—an unusual choice for a botrytized wine. Dried apricot and ripe pear aromas lead the way, with the flavors leaning toward intensely honeyed apricot preserves. It’s full-bodied, lush and candy-sweet, with a mouthcoating finish.
