Noon, Eclipse, McLaren Vale, South Australia, 2016

This vintage of Eclipse blends Grenache together with 8% Graciano and 5% Shiraz. It’s a translucent red in colour, with pastel-shaded black fruits in a softly savoury frame; lifted and refined. There’s impressive purity and poise on the palate, too, with earthy, deep flavours in a cleanly hewn, frank, savoury style. Ample tannins provide balance and texture. It's a beautifully measured, drinkable and soft-fingered wine of resonance and natural articulation.
