"One of the most famous of all Australian stickies. In fact, it was John Brown Senior who in 1962 made Australia’s first commercial botrytis style wine. All manner of engaging fruit on the nose. Mandarin, citrus and orange peel with a little fig and honey richness. The palate has a bright almost shimmering mouthfeel with layers of intense, ripe, sweet fruit but balanced with a crisp acidity that holds it neatly together. The palate lingers initially with that glorious sweetness but then with a drying acidity that completes a lip-smacking feel. Half a bottle is simply not enough. It’s traditionally a dessert wine but try it with pâté earlier in your meal. Marvellous, as one cricket commentator may have uttered." Ray Jordan

"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" Jeni Port

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. 

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.
