Flagstone Noon Gun 2024

Colour: Bright straw colour.
Bouquet: Intriguing, complex nose of guava, orange zest & apple, with a floral hint.
Palate: The smooth, balanced palate offers refreshing flavours of melon, apple, pineapple and a touch of citrus. The fruitiness is balanced by a creamy mouth feel and a crisp, zesty lingering finish.

Perfect on its own, but also excellent with fresh summer salads, roasted free range chicken, or even fish dishes with creamy sauce. Ultimately, it’s the versatility of the wine that makes Noon Gun the ultimate everyday lunchtime wine.

The Noon Gun canon stands on Signal Hill above the town centre in Cape Town, known in South Africa as The Mother City. Its daily firing is South Africa’s oldest official tradition. You can always tell who the new tourists in town are, because the big bang at noon sends them scrambling under sidewalk restaurant tables. To Cape Town residents, the daily boom signals lunchtime. Originally, the daily white plume of smoke from the barrel of the Noon Gun was used by ship’s captains at anchor in Table Bay as a way of keeping accurate time on board. By so doing they were able to determine Longitude accurately at sea.
