Botrytis Noble

Although it is known as an enemy of the grape, the fungus Botrytis Cinerea can, under very special geographic and climatic conditions, develop its noble form that transforms the berries into nectar rather than rotting them. In this case, from this raw material, sublimated by the fungus, great sweet wines can be produced, such as Sauternes or Tokaj. In one of our vineyards, we are fortunate to have all the conditions needed for the noble form of Botrytis to develop, allowing us to craft our Botrytis Noble Liquor, a pioneering creation in Uruguay and South America since 1996.

A portion of the wine is transferred to new and used French oak barrels for aging between 6 and 12 months, while the other portion stays in stainless steel tanks. Deep golden color that can evolve into ochre with bottle aging.
Very distinctive aroma due to the action of the fungus: notes of dried apricot, lychee, rose, honey, and pineapple. Offers a great balance between sweetness and acidity, with notes of dried fruit, beeswax, and almonds.
It is recommended to serve at a temperature between 7 ºC and 10 ºC and enjoy it at 10 to 12 ºC.
