NOTES
Brown Brothers in Milawa, north-eastern Victoria, is one of the icons of winemaking and wine tourism in Australia. Operated in the King Valley by a pioneering winemaking family, they are always exploring new varieties.
Brown Brothers believe that wines are as different as the ‘people who drink them’ which is why they have developed a comprehensive range of wine styles and blends. With vineyards located in a diverse range of climatic regions and a 'kindergarten' winery specifically designed for innovation, Brown Brothers draws from a patchwork of vineyards to make a number of wines – many such as the Limited Release wines which you will only find at cellar door and a handful of fine wine merchants.
TASTING NOTES
The Patricia range of wines is the culmination of Brown Brothers' commitment to viticultural and winemaking excellence. The Patricia name is a dedication for Patricia Brown's hard work and the love she has given her family. Careful vineyard site selection and the utmost care in winemaking approach has maximised flavour and retained the elegance of these wines, they are sure to impress.
The 2006 Noble Riesling has a bright, rich golden yellow colour. The nose has fresh lifted aromatics and classic botrytis characters like stewed apricots, butterscotch, honey, orange marmalade and citrus. All these aromas follow through to the palate which is concentrated and complex with a silky mouth feel. The high natural acidity balances the residual sweetness to provide a refreshingly clean finish.
REVIEWS
Bright gold; has an intensity of flavour which explains why it has such an armada of gold medals and trophies; the lower alcohol than traditional Australian styles (though not German) and citrussy acidity are the keys to a wonderful wine. Screwcap. 8.5% alc. Rating 96, James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion 2010
