The Estate
Lourensford Noble Late Harvest Limited Reserve is made from the golden skinned grapes, picked from the Sémillon vineyard, situated close to the Lourensriver. The Louresnford Wine Estate is located in Somerset West, where the fruit orchards and the vineyards rest comfortably at the foot of the Helderberg Mountains.

The wine has an alluring bright gold colour with a beautiful, inviting nose filled with ripe tropical fruits along with peach, pear, kumquat and a hint of nettles and greengage – all on a backdrop of Botrytis.

When it comes to the Lourensford Noble Late Harvest, there is an intense concentration in the mouth with great balance of all components held together by keen acidity while fynbos honey, toasted nuts and caramel lingers in the background. Super now yet has many years of development to do.

Tasting Notes
On the nose

A beautiful inviting nose of ripe tropical fruits, along with refreshing citrus fruits like peach, pear and kumquat, which adds a subtle hint of nuttiness.

On the palate
There is an intense concentration of citric fruits which are acidic yet the fynbos honey and toasted nuts, linger in the background, help deliver a delicate balance which sits on the palate quite pleasantly.
