2008 Reviews Lillypilly Estate 2006 Noble Muscat of Alexandria. "Five of the best: dessert wines" Lillypilly Estate 2006 Noble Muscat of Alexandria A dusty musk stick style of wine with roasted hazelnuts and almonds alongside apricot and lychee. Enjoy with coconut panna cotta with pomegranate jelly. Donna Hay magazine issue 40 aug/sep 2008 SEE CLIPPING ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Media reviews for 2003 Vintage Lillypilly Estate 2003 Noble Muscat of Alexandria. It's lightly coloured but mightily flavoursome. You'll find some delightful fruit sweetness, intensity and complexity on the palate. Winsor Dobbin, The Sun-Herald (Sydney) 6 August 2006 — SEE CLIPPING GOOD TASTES OF FIUMARAVILLE. There is probably no other winery in Australia that rivals Lillypilly at Leeton, in the Riverina, when it comes to being able to taste current-release dessert wines. Winsor Dobbin, Winestate, July-August 2006 — SEE CLIPPING Lillypilly 2003 Noble Muscat of Alexandria: The nose is wonderfully heady with musk and wild flower scents, while the palate is full of luscious stone fruit flavours. It has an excellent balance and a pleasant spicy finish. Toni Paterson, Wine: What to Drink 2006 (National) Published December 2005 — SEE CLIPPING BEST DESSERT WINES: Lillypilly Estate produces four fantastic pudding wines in 375ml bottles; 2002 Noble Sauvignon Blanc, 2003 Noble Riesling, 2002 Noble Blend and my favourite: 2003 Noble Muscat of Alexandria. All are brilliant. Winsor Dobbin, Ciao! (Sydney) December 2005 — SEE CLIPPING PENGUIN GUIDE: Lillypilly Estate 2003 Noble Muscat of AlexandriaTasting a selection of Robert Fiumara’s sweet wines reminded HH of Austria, when he visited the famous Alois Kracher in Burgenland, where the Neusiedlersee raises humidity and promotes botrytis attack. In a great vintage like 1999, Kracher can show you 11 different botrytis wines, and they’re all terrific. It’s a bit like that at Lillypilly. This is a lighter-coloured wine than its siblings: medium gold, and smells of fragrant muscat grapes, bath-powdery and highly aromatic but perhaps with less botrytis character than the top wines. The palate, though, is very fine and restrained, at the same time intense and complex, with good sweetness and flavour. Its balance is a highlight and it retains liveliness at the finish. Serve with fruit salad and ice-cream. Huon Hooke & Ralph Kyte-Powell The Penguin Good Australian Wine Guide 2005-2006 (National) September 2005 FOUR-AND-A-HALF GLASSES: Lillypilly Estate 2003 Noble Muscat of Alexandria Glowing yellow-green; very rich and complex; candied fruit off-set by good acidity. Screw cap. RATING 90 DRINK 2008 SEE CLIPPING James Halliday Australian Wine Companion 2006 (National) July 2005 WINE: Lillypilly Estate 2003 Noble Muscat of Alexandria Fragrant muscat aroma, less botrytis and sweetness but still intense and complex with beautiful balance and a lively finish — good with fruit salad.

Intense limes and oranges round out a rich sweetness, All that it needs to make it better is a bowl of raspberry sorbet. SEE CLIPPING Maryann Egan Donna Hay Magazine [National] Winter 2004 |
