Noon Vintage Port 2006 (500ml)

"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

"In good vintages, when the quality is high and the quantity allows, we produce either a Tawny or V.P. naturally sweet, fortified red wine (or ‘port’ as it used to be known*). The V.P. is a single vintage wine, bottled after 18 months maturation in barrel and well-suited to further bottle ageing. The Tawny is a blend of older vintages which have been matured in barrel in partial contact with the air for many years (the average age of the blend is 15 years) and it is ready to consume on release.

To maintain an average age of 15 years for the Tawny, we release it only every few years. We release a V.P. in the other years or whenever the season allows. Some years there is no fortified wine released." Winery Notes

Only 100 doz released per vintage
