Noon Gun

Crafted Dry White Blend

Blending our Noon Gun each year is a like trying to paint a serene landscape with brightly coloured paint. Each component has been so carefully fermented and cared for that each has it’s own wonderful, attention-demanding character. Somehow we have to coax these spirited, individualistic expressions of the land into team players.

We do this by working harder in the vineyard and each year learning more about how each vineyard block reacts to the pressures of climatic stress.

We want to create a wine that could not be made in any other cellar–it must have a special Flagstone character. We do this by keeping our ferments small and by pushing each ferment to the limits of its quality potential. No wine is considered for Noon Gun unless it is able to stand alone as a characterful, high quality, individual wine.

Named after Cape Town’s oldest official tradition. Our Noon Gun fires everyday at lunchtime. (Except Sundays and Public holidays).

Tasting note

Honeydew melon with slices of paw-paw and a touch of orange peel and a sprinkle of cinnamon on the nose. Sweet fruit with a creamy sensation on the palate and a zesty crisp lingering finish.
