“At Shannon Vineyards our focus on viticulture principles reflects our commitment to winemaking as an expression of terroir. Making fine wines is our ongoing aspiration and to that end we have assembled a talented team who share our passion. Our grapes come from exceptional mountain hillside vineyards above the banks of the Peninsula Dam in the Elgin Valley. These unique vineyard sites combined with the highly experienced viticultural team of Kevin Watt and James Downes and a winemaking philosophy of minimal intervention followed by the winemakers Gordon Johnson and Nadia Cilliers produce wines with distinctive personalities. Each wine has a sense of place. They are seductive and memorable for their complex structure and elegance.” – Shannon Vineyards
