Producer tasting notes: "Produced from Shiraz grown on the 20 Rows block in Langhorne Creek by the Borrett family. We hand harvested the smaller crop in perfect condition on Tuesday 13 March 2018. The Reserve Shiraz is dense and full bodied. There is detail and nuance to the deep set flavours. The texture is round and the balance is excellent, with firm tannins providing definition and length to the finish. This is a lovely wine to drink now or cellar for many years." - Noon Winery
Winemaking
Noon Reserve Shiraz is matured in small (300 lite) French and American oak barrels for 18 months. We use approximately 30-40% new oak for this wine, with the aim of adding complexity and structure without dominating the fruit flavour. Each year we work closely with the Borrett family to choose the ideal harvest time. Fermentation takes place in our small open vats which are hand plunged to help extract the naturally abundant colour and tannins present in the grapes. After fermentation is complete (typically 10 to 20 days) pressing is done by hand using small manual basket presses and care is taken not to extract too much bitterness or astringency by rough handling and over-pressing. The wine is crushed, fermented, matured and bottled on our property.
