Brown Brothers

Patricia Noble Riesling 375mL 2022

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

The Brown Brothers Patricia Noble Riesling is recognised as one of the best dessert wines in the world. First released in 1962 from our home vineyard at Milawa, The Noble Riesling harnesses the cool misty mornings and warm days of Northeast Victoria to develop the Botrytis on the grapes. 

Tasting Notes

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. 

Fruit for the 2022 vintage was hand picked in late March, between 18.5 and 25 baumé with significant botrytis development. The wine was bottled with an alcohol of 9.05% and a residual sugar level of 188g/L.

Bright, thick, golden yellow.

Aroma

The nose has fresh lifted aromatics and classic botrytis characteristics like orange marmalade, citrus and honey.

Palate

Concentrated and complex with a silky mouthfeel. The high natural acidity balances the residual sweetness to provide a refreshingly clean finish.

Peak Drinking

Until 2032

Growing Conditions

The 2022 vintage was one of two halfs. Early season rainfall was persistent filling the dams and soil profile. The rain pushed into late February and then broke leading to a warm and dry remainder of the season. There was enough moisture to promote the Botrytis leading to excellent concentration of sugars and acidity.

1997 Noble Riesling

"A friend recently discovered this gem in their cellar and presented it at a dinner party. Nervously, we uncorked the bottle, checked the smell, the colour then taste. Amazing!!! It was still a lovely desert wine. Well done Brown Brothers!!"

"The most delicious wine I have ever had."

Cheree H. (5/5)

Noble as Noble

"I would say this bottle reminds me of some big names in the field of Noble Wine, for instance, Tokaji. However, it maintains the characteristics especially attributable to the lands and vineyards of Australia, to the King Valley, where the Aussie style of sweet wines prospers. The wine is Noble as its name grants."
