Gunns's winemaking philosophy revolves around creating wines that showcase the unique characteristics of each vintage. Located at 420m above sea level and benefiting from cooling winds from the Atlantic, Iona produces a range of Sauvignon Blancs, Chardonnays, and Pinot Noirs known for their complex flavours and fresh, elegant style.

Their commitment to organic and biodynamic practices, coupled with a hands-off approach, ensures the health of the soils and the creation of exceptional wines, making Iona a natural fit for Alliance Wines since 2014.
