Noon 'Eclipse' Grenache Blend 2021

"With the passage of the years I realise that it’s very important to farm and to produce our wines in a way that is sustainable over generations. That means improving our soil health through increasing organic matter, leaving no chemical residues and not degrading other environments such as river systems through irrigation. So we farm our vineyard organically and we don’t irrigate our vines. There is a cost in yield potential to this approach but a benefit to grape quality and sustainability." Drew Noon

"The vines which produce this wine surround our house and the furthest are 500m from it, so they are very familiar in all their seasonal guises. They are like old friends. I have pruned and tended them since I was a child and so the appearance of the vines themselves, the leaves and the bunches as they develop, is very familiar. I feel like I share a life experience with them and so they are close to my heart.

The wine we produce from them reflects this vineyard and our region. Noon Eclipse is produced predominately from Grenache (80-90%+), along with small amounts of Shiraz and Graciano." Winery Notes
