The 1997 Cranswick Autumn Gold Botrytis Semillon from Riverina, Australia, is a lush dessert wine that reflects the region’s early embrace of botrytised Semillon. While detailed tasting notes for this vintage are scarce, its style is well documented:
Nose: Expect aromas of marmalade, dried apricot, and honey, with possible hints of vanilla and caramel from bottle age.
Palate: Sweet and rounded, offering flavors of candied citrus, golden raisin, and baked apple. Compared to more heavily botrytised wines like De Bortoli’s Noble One, this expression is typically lighter and quicker to mature.
Finish: Smooth and warming, with lingering notes of toffee, citrus peel, and a soft spice or nutty edge.This wine was crafted in a style that balances richness with approachability—ideal for pairing with fruit-based desserts or soft cheeses. If you’ve got a bottle, it’s likely mellowed into a golden, honeyed treat.
