I have a question about a clue in Slormgorm's puzzle last week.

24 Ac Mature beef with no starter and drop of Nolly? (5)
(G)Ripe + N = RIPEN
I understand the parsing … but I still need help.
What is "Nolly"?

It's the jokey name for Noilly Prat, fancy champagne. PS my spelling could be wonky, I don't drink!

Many thanks, chips. I've checked online and see it now.

Online I had no success at all previously. Foiled by one letter!
Have a soft drink. Cheers!
