Critic Scores

Deep garnet-purple colored, Noon’s 2010 Eclipse offers an intense, complex nose with a core of ripe black cherries and blackberries over hints of mint, dark chocolate, violets, yeast extract and toast. Full bodied yet beautifully elegant in the mouth, it offers an excellent concentration of fruit marked by crisp acid and a medium to firm level of grainy tannins. The finish is long and layered. Still youthfully taut and primary, it should drink best 2013 to 2020+.

Vinification & Cultivation

Crafted only for our premium wines

Vineyard Cultivation

The 2010 vintage across South Australia was generally warm and even, with adequate spring moisture supporting healthy canopy development. McLaren Vale's maritime influence moderated peak summer temperatures, encouraging steady ripening. Noon's vineyards on sandy loam and clay soils produced grapes with good colour intensity and ripe tannin structure. The season was neither extreme nor cool—a 'middle' vintage that typically yields wines balancing ripeness and freshness. Conditions were well-suited to the Grenache-Shiraz blend for which Noon is known.

Vinification

Grenache and Shiraz underwent separate fermentation on skins in temperature-controlled conditions. Standard press-house protocols separated wine from solids. The component wines aged in oak—a mix of French and American cooperage—for approximately 12–18 months. This maturation period allowed flavour integration and tannin refinement. The final blend was assembled to showcase the balance between Grenache's softer, fruit-driven character and Shiraz's structural backbone.

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.
