Description
The 2024 Eclipse demonstrates the legitimacy of the claim that Grenache is like warm-climate Pinot Noir. It has a wonderful roundness of texture in the mouth and fills your palate with soft fruit flavour. It also reflects the conditions of the vintage clearly; possessing a lighter colour than usual due to the larger crop and the cooler summer. But the purity of fruit is beautiful and the silky mouthfeel is divine. A very attractive wine for drinking now through until 2030+.
Produced from 92% Grenache, 4% Shiraz and 4% Graciano, all estate grown and hand picked.
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.
