Critic Scores

The purple-colored 2007 Eclipse is a blend of 65% Grenache and 35% Shiraz sourced from old vines with tiny yields. It spent 18 months in small and large French and American oak, just 11% new. It delivers an already complex nose of damp earth, mineral, lavender, Asian spices, black cherry, and black raspberry. Full-bodied, rich, and savory, this plush effort conceals enough structure to evolve for 4-6 years. It will offer a drinking window extending from 2014 to 2027.

In a challenging vintage Drew Noon made superb wines, if not quite as sublime as when the weather is more cooperative.

Vinification & Cultivation

Crafted only for our premium wines

Vineyard Cultivation

The 2007 vintage was warm and dry across McLaren Vale, creating ideal ripening conditions for Grenache and Shiraz. Noon's vineyard parcels benefit from McLaren Vale's distinctive warm maritime climate and sandy loam soils that encourage deep colour and ripe berry character. The vintage was relatively early due to sustained warmth, with fruit reaching optimal phenolic maturity by late autumn. These conditions typically yield wines with good colour concentration, ripe tannin, and naturally balanced acidity from the cooler southern ocean influence.

Vinification

Fruit was hand-harvested and sorted before destemming and crushing. Grenache and Shiraz were fermented separately on skins in temperature-controlled vessels, with gentle pump-overs to manage extraction and preserve freshness. Following pressing, the component wines were aged in French and American oak to develop secondary flavours and integrate tannin structure. The blend was assembled post-maturation, allowing the winemaker to balance varietal components. Bottling occurred with natural cork, typical of premium McLaren Vale practice.

About this Wine

South Australia

If you like Australian wine, then you probably like South Australia wine. The rich reds produced there put Australia on the wine-making map of the world. With over 40% of the countries vineyards, South Australia can rightfully call itself the wine state.

Wines are produced in several regions throughout the state, though many are naturally grouped together, like Barossa and Eden Valleys, only 15 minutes apart. They include such regions as Barossa Valley, Clare Valley, Eden Valley, Coonawarra, Adelaide Hills, Kangaroo Island, Langhorne Creek, The Limestone Coast, McLaren Vale and Wrattonbully to name but a few!

Barossa Valley boasts some of the oldest vines in Australia dating back to 1843 and produces some of the world's finest Shiraz, whilst the 'terra rossa' soils of Coonawarra is most suited to producing outstanding Cabernet Sauvignons. If you're a fan of Riesling, Clare Valley is a great place to explore and for a Maritime climate not dissimilar to parts of the Italian coastline, seek out the wines from McLaren Vale.
