Noon Eclipse is an exquisite Australian wine cherished by connoisseurs worldwide. Imbued with a rich, dark ruby hue, it is renowned for deep, robust flavours of blackberry and ripe plum, harmoniously accompanied by undertones of dark chocolate and delicate spices. This full-bodied, velvety Grenache is sourced from exceptionally old vines in the McLaren Vale region. Its expert composition provides a sophisticated roundness and enduring finish, promising a sensational drinking experience. Noon Eclipse encapsulates the best of Australian vineyards, an indulgence of the senses that lends itself perfectly to succulent red meats and eloquent dinner conversations. It is, simply put, a symphony in a bottle.

Tasting Notes

This is undoubtedly one of the best Grenache vintage. The wine looked notably dark in colour straight out of the vats. The Eclipse has an especially lovely perfume this year, combined with impressive structure. It is produced from 91% Grenache, 6% Graciano and 3% Shiraz, grown on the Winery Block, BJs Block and the Almond Block on our estate in McLaren Vale. It is more full bodied than usual and packed with flavour but the balance is excellent thanks to a high level of ripe tannins providing a firm finish. It is great drinking now and I expect it will mature very nicely over the next 10 years or more
