Noon Winery in Langhorn Creek, Australia, is owned and operated by the Noon family, which includes David Noon and his son Drew. David Noon had been a Grenache grape farmer since the late 1960s. He sold his grapes to regional winemakers but soon became interested in making wine himself. In 1972 he bought a small grape press and by 1976 was selling his own wine. In 1996 his son Drew took over the everyday affairs of the estate. Today Noon’s Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon wines are considered some of Australia’s best boutique wines. Wine Advocate has called Noon “one of the brilliant wineries of Australia, offering wines of exceptional purity, symmetry and individuality.”
