Noble Rot Wine
Noble Rot Wine is a type of dessert wine made from grapes affected by a beneficial fungus called Botrytis cinerea. This fungus dehydrates the grapes, concentrating their sugars and flavors, which results in a rich, sweet wine. The process typically occurs in regions with specific climatic conditions, such as Sauternes in France.
The unique characteristics of Noble Rot Wine include its honeyed sweetness and complex aromas, often featuring notes of apricot, peach, and spice. It pairs well with desserts, cheeses, and foie gras, making it a popular choice for special occasions and fine dining experiences.
