GRapes with Noble Rot - advice please
I am being given a load of grapes that the owner has informed me have Noble rot. He is in his 80's and has had to give up wine making so he is giving me this years crop. He says that if I use them "as-is" I can make a Tokai type wine, which he has done in the past. Or they can be washed and used in a more normal manner. I am unsure as to what to do, anyone done this before or have any advice/opinions either way?
Nothing's forgotten, nothings EVER forgotten...

noble rot does not regularly happen. it depends on the growing conditions.
too good an opportunity to not use them I think
