Description
The 2022 Eclipse displays a lovely red robe. The deep colour this year was immediately apparent when crushing the grapes. The aroma is very attractive, with ripe red berries in abundance, along with spice and a woodsy undergrowth note. Great depth of flavour filling every corner of the palate, developing richness and building right through to the long, firm finish. Produced from 81% Grenache, 14% Shiraz and 5% Graciano, all estate grown and hand-picked grapes.
The grapes for Noon Eclipse are picked from three unirrigated vineyards surrounding Drew and Raegan Noon’s winery in McLaren Vale;Â Grenache bush vines, which were planted in 1934 and 1943, as well as Shiraz and Graciano bush vines which were planted between 1998 and 2001. Noon Eclipse, together with Noon Reserve Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon remain some of the most desirable, yet scarce wines made in Australia today.
