Bimbadgen Estate Botrytis Semillon 2006 375ml Bimbadgen previously claimed International Trophy for Best Dessert Wine Under £10 at the Decanter World Wine Awards in London with this graceful little number. Growing conditions at the Myall Road Vineyard in Yenda confounded the Bimbadgen winemakers for the entire 2006 vintage. The palate is elegant, fresh and ethereal; it belies its high sugar contact with fresh fruit flavours and incisive acid structure. The wine is complex, savoury and earthy with subtle charry, nutty oak balanced by fresh citrus fruit, citrus peel and straw, with a touch of nettle on the finish.

dArenberg The Noble Prankster 2008 375ml The effect of Noble Rot or Botrytis cinerea is to make the skin of grapes porous, and given the correct weather, shrivel. The wrinkled grapes are intensely sweet and full of character, producing wine with a wide array of fruit characters. There is a background of mix peel that provides a clue to the intense and complex characters found on the palate. The unctuous luscious wine coats the mouth with an explosion of exotic and intense fruit including yellow peach, quince, green melon and a wonderful lemon butter nuance.

De Bortoli Deen Vat 5 Botrytis Semillon 2007 375ml De Bortoli has written the book on Australian dessert style Semillon. "Australian botrytis semillon style is a very rich wine globally but Deen is more in line with classic Sauterne. An elegant wine displaying citrus, peach and apricot fruit characters, a touch of vanillin oak with a refreshing acidity that gives the palate wonderful length and balances the sweetness. "This may not be in the same league as its famous stable mate, the Noble One, but for price it's a stand out sticky with lots of dried apricot and cumquat flavours and not overly sweet!" -Australian Doctor, "The best dessert wine in Australia under $15, rich,lush and ripe, with honey, apricot and peach flavours, a clean, fresh, sweet finish!" -Sunday Times, "Possibly the best value sticky in Australia!" -Sydney Morning Herald.

Henschke Hill of Grace 1999 Crafted from vineyard blocks ranging between 52-144 years of age. "The prodigious 1999 Hill of Grace is a magnificent Eden Valley Shiraz. Curranty and brambly on the palate, intense tannins and vanillan oak, wafers of bitter chocolate and liquorice at the finish.

Peter Lehmann Botrytis Semillon 2008 375ml Peter Lehmann's story with Noble Semilon goes back many years when Andrew Wigan had the good fortune of experiencing vintage within the vineyards at Chateau d’Yquem, home to the greatest sweet white table wine in the world. What he had assumed to be spoilage, was in fact Botrytis Cinerea. A sublime, lifted nose, incredible charm and personality, complex characters and deeply honeyed notes. Stylish, more-ish and luscious, delicious with dried currant and apricot flavours, complemented by fully integrated French oak, pierced by superb natural acids.
