A Legacy of Excellence: The Noon

A Legacy of Excellence: The Noon

Charlotte Zhou

In the world of wine, some stories are as rich and bold as the wines themselves. The tale of Drew and Raegan Noon, the proud stewards of Noon Winery, is one such story that has graced the vineyards of McLaren Vale since 1996.

The Journey Back to McLaren Vale

Drew Noon's path to winemaking mastery was a winding one. Before returning to McLaren Vale, he honed his skills as a consultant oenologist and viticulturist in Victoria. It was there that he cultivated a deep understanding of the art and science of winemaking, a foundation that would later define his craft.

In addition to his consultancy work, Drew spent time as a winemaker at Cassegrain, where he further refined his expertise. But it was the call of McLaren Vale that ultimately brought him home. In 1996, Drew and his wife, Raegan, made a momentous decision—they purchased Noon Winery from Drew's parents, ushering in a new era for this esteemed establishment.

A Winemaker's Touch

Drew Noon is renowned for his opulent and densely concentrated red wines, each bearing the unmistakable mark of his expertise. Among these vinous gems, the Noon Reserve Shiraz stands as a testament to his winemaking prowess.

This remarkable wine is sourced from the Borrett family's 20 Rows block vineyard in Langhorne Creek. Here, the vines bask in the South Australian sun, nurturing grapes that will become something truly extraordinary.
