2017 Hickinbotham Noble Sauvignon Blanc

Called Noble due to the infection of the berries by the Botrytis mould which concentrates sugars and gives the wine its characteristic luscious flavour. Also called the ‘Nectar of the Gods.’ The flavours linger for ages making the palate beg for more of this superb nectar.

PALATE

The palate is gorgeously sweet, very creamy, rich, flavoursome & beautifully balanced with just the right amount of acidity on the finish so that it doesn’t cloy.

VINTAGE

The 2017 vintage on the Mornington Peninsula was characterised by a cool summer with a long, slow ripening period, resulting in classically proportioned wines with great balance and finesse, particularly for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay
