Andrew Gunn, the owner of this iconic Elgin estate, is an unstoppable force towards vinous excellence. Andrew’s vineyards are located in Highlands, a unique sub-region of Elgin on the saddle between two peaks, which is virtually exclusive to Iona.
We would run out of space attempting to print all the great reviews for the Sauvignon Blanc, but here’s an equally glowing tribute to The Gunnar Red from Jonathan Ray in the Daily Telegraph:
“Iona is celebrated for its Chardonnays and Sauvignons and does a fine Syrah, too. This blended red, from Cabernet, Merlot and Petit Verdot, is a belter as well. Inimitably SA of course, it also has a touch of Left Bank Bordeaux style and is smooth and rounded with luscious ripe fruit.”
