1999 | Noon Winery | Noon VP

Deep red in colour, with a lovely marriage of ripe berry fruit and brandy spirit on the nose.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: It is a shame there is not more of the Noon V.P. The wine was made from 80-year old Grenache vines and fortified with alcohol, giving it a dry vintage port character. It is a dense, viscous, full-bodied, after-dinner cheese course wine with extraordinary levels of black fruits, notes of kirsch liqueur, pepper, and spice. It is hard to know how it will age, but I would assume 10-15 years is well within a conservative estimate. The flavor and characteristics are unlike anything I have tasted from the Old or New World. It is an undeniably singular expression that is a riveting wine in its own right.

Producer Information

Noon Winery is a boutique wine producer located in McLaren Vale in South Australia. It is known for its red wines – full bodied expressions of Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz that all tend to sell out quickly. The winery was founded in 1976 by David Noon, who until then had mostly sold the fruit from his 4 hectare (10 acre) property to other producers. A strong desire to make his own wine saw him begin to make a small amount each vintage, until his son Drew took over as full time winemaker in 1996. There are three estate owned vineyard sites in McLaren Vale, including the 2.4 hectare Winery Block. This vineyard contains old bush vine Grenache planted in 1934. It supplies the Eclipse bottling, which typically features 80 percent of the variety. The 1.6ha BJ's Block was established in 1943. It supplies Grenache for Eclipse and the High Noon Rosé (the latter is not currently exported). The newest property, the 1.6ha Almond Block, was planted in 1999. The Noons grow Graciano and Shiraz here for Eclipse.
