At Shannon Vineyards, every sip of Rock View Ridge Pinot Noir is a testament to our meticulous site selection. From clay to sand and stone, each soil component imparts vibrant notes of raspberry, strawberry, currant, and cherry. Taste the terroir in every exquisite drop. 🍓🍒

Harvest is such a magical time at Shannon Vineyards. Our team has worked hard for the last 10 months to get to this point, in fact, the vineyard team has honed their skills over the last 23 years since the vines were planted. 23 years in the making... #harvest2023

What makes Elgin great for growing Chardonnay? It's SA's coolest wine growing region. The cooler temperatures slow down grape ripening, grapes retain more acidity, wines are fresher & crisper. #winesofelgin #chardonnayColloquium #coolclimate

"Mount Bullet vineyard is planted with 5 different Merlot clones. 2019 is lighter & more refined, with graceful tannins, red cherry, capsicum & pencil shavings. Deserves its reputation as one of the best Cape expressions of the grape" - Tim Atkin #TimAtkin #merlot #winesofelgin

The longest row of vines at Shannon Vineyards is roughly 100m. That way, when walking or quad biking around the farm, you can see to the heart of any vineyard and notice any problem. "it's the one-on-one with every vine that's important" 🌱- James Downes #viticulture #terroir
