Noon Winery is a small family owned winery run by husband and wife team, Drew and Rae Noon. Noon Specializes in full bodied red wine with minimal intervention.
The tiny estate is dry farmed biodynamically, though it is not certified and Drew doesn't have any intention of becoming certified. "We don't make a big fuss about it," says Noon. "We've never used any chemicals on our vines. All we have is this open air tractor here. We knew if we sprayed anything on the vineyard we'd just get it straight in the face. These vines are like grandmother's plum tree. They look after themselves, and they grow better without any junk added."
Noon's philosophy in the cellar is much the same. The grapes are hand harvested, basket pressed, and fermented in old open-top oak barrels lined with paraffin. Ambient yeasts and no temperature controls mean that the grapes take their own sweet time.
Noon is long considered by many as one of the icon wineries of Australia and sell out their limited production every vintage, in 3 weeks, after their release in November.
