Botrytis Noble

Although it is known as an enemy of the grape, the Botrytis Cinerea fungus can, in some very special geographical and climatic conditions, develop its noble form which transforms grapes into nectar instead of rotting them. This allows for the creation of renowned for tified wines, such as Sauternes or Tokaj, from the fruit enhanced by the fungus. We are fortunate to have the necessary conditions for the development of noble rot in one of our vineyards. This has allowed us to pioneer the production of our fortified Botrytis Noble wine since 1996, in Uruguay and South America.
