| Chateau/Producer: | Onyx | | Wine Name: | Noble Late Harvest | | Country: | South Africa | | State: | Swartland | | AOC: | Groenekloof | | Region: | West Coast | | Wine Score: | 91 | | Notes: | Color is a lovely yellow golden, the color of citrine. The nose is very light, a faint scent like brandied peaches. Wow, this is a very tasty dessert wine. It has a medium-thick body, but not too syrupy. There's an explosion of fruit flavor, brandied peaches apricot, and orange, with a nice level of sweetness and good acidity to balance it. I'm very impressed by the quality of this wine; I wasn't expecting much, but it's quite tasty. | | Tasting Date: | 2005-05-14 | | Varietal: | Chenin Blanc | | Production Notes: | This sweet dessert wine is the end result of the fungus Botrytis Cineria that infected some Chenin Blanc grapes early in the picking season of the 2002 harvest.
