Description: Kingston Estate Wines has grown rapidly since Sarantos and Constantina Moularadellis first developed their 40 acre vineyard in 1979 in South Australia's Riverland wine region. Today, Kingston is the 10th largest wine producer in Australia and remains one of Australia's largest family-owned wineries. Echelon showcases the limited release varietal wines from South Australia, considered by Kingston's winemaker as the pinnacle of each vintage. Only parcels displaying exceptional fruit vibrancy and intensity of flavour make the final selection. Sourced from various South Australian premium regions, the wines are assessed not only for their youthful qualities, but an ability to develop their full potential with further bottle maturation. The wine was produced from 100%South Australian fruit including Adelaide Plains , Clare Valley , Langhorne Creek and Limestone Coast . The fruit was fermented as separate components in 20t static fermenters. A portion of the wine was drained off to finish fermentation in new American oak barrels. Adelaide Plains and Clare Valley ferments were transferred to new American oak barrels for completion of fermentation. The remaining ferments were drained and pressed with light pressings combined with the free run juice.The wines were left to settle for 7 days and then racked to new and one year old American and French oak barrels for 18 months maturation. This has produced a bright, deep red coloured wine with youthful purple hues. The bouquet is full of complex fruit characters showing rich fruitcake, dark chocolate and licorice notes integrated with blackberry and mint, together with some spice and coffee oak flavours. Great flavour concentration, opulent mid palate fruit and fine ripe tannins make this is a wine to savour. The oak underpins the fruit and provides flavour complexity and structure to the wine.

Kingston Estate SARANTOS Soft Press Shiraz South Eastern Australia
Description: Kingston Estate Wines has grown rapidly since Sarantos and Constantina Moularadellis first developed their 40 acre vineyard in 1979 in South Australia's Riverland wine region. Today, Kingston is the 10th largest wine producer in Australia and remains one of Australia's largest family-owned wineries. Sarantos, named after one of Kingston Estate owners is an easy drinking range of wines. Using only the best quality fruit and adopting the practice of soft pressing so that only free run juice is used in the winemaking process. This has resulted in a range of wines showing full fruit characters. This is a rich and warming wine style with infinite drinkability. Grapes were selected from vineyards throughout South Australia including the Clare Valley, Adelaide Plains and the Riverland. Parcels of fruit which showed generous fruit concentration were identified and treated in the Soft Press winemaking style. After crushing the grape skins were handled gently to maximize the variety's pure and clean flavours during the ensuing fermentation process. Only a small portion of the wine was matured with American and French oak with the intention being to allow maximum fruit expression and the oak adding subtle complexity. The Sarantos Shiraz is a deep plum red colour while on the nose it has rich licorice, chocolate, plums, dark berry fruits and subtle spiciness and is very much like a warm Christmas fruit pudding. These attractive flavours continue onto the palate and are fused with soft charry characters and maraschino cherries. For all its depth of flavour and intensity it has surprisingly soft tannins and acid, typical of the 'Soft Press' style. (12 x 75 cl) Price: £92.78
