Australian winemakers are celebrating two of their premium fortifieds making it into the Drinks Business World's Top 10 Fortified Wines.
Drinks Business noted that it had selected "the best of their types in a range of categories, from Port and Madeira to Sherry, taking in a broad sweep of regions and nations, including France, Spain and Portugal, and not forgetting Australia too."
De Bortoli Wines’ iconic Black Noble came in at No.5, with Drinks Business describing the fortified wines characteristics as “Roasted coffee, toffee, sweet raisins and a touch of lemon-peel bitterness characterise this amazing, unctuous wine from Australia.”
Black Noble is the world’s only fortified wine made from botrytis grapes.
The accolade follows Black Noble winning a gold medal in the highly respected 2019 Global Fortified Masters blind tasting competition.
De Bortoli Senior Winemaker Julie Mortlock (pictured main) said: “We know how good Black Noble is and we’re thrilled that it is receiving this level of recognition around the world.
“I love it with sticky date pudding or it makes a deliciously decadent dessert of its own when poured over ice-cream.
