Chardonnay Noble

Grape Varieties

Winemaker Notes

This Chardonnay Noble is a dessert style wine resulting from “Noble Rot” infected grapes from our estate. Noble Rot, otherwise known as Botrytis cinerea, is a type of fungus that appears on grapes, usually appearing after a rain event followed by warm temperatures and high humidity. This Noble rot, combined with an extended ripening period, allows the grapes to dehydrate while concentrating high sugar levels, which in turn intensifies sweetness and adds flavor to the resulting juice when pressed.
