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 PetitVerdot grapes were sourced predominantly from South Australia 's Riverland with a small portion included from the Clare Valley and Langhorne Creek. PetitVerdot is particularly well suited to the Riverland 's warm climate where it ripens fully each year, yet retains lean tannins and good natural acidity. Once harvested only the light pressings were combined with the free run juice to produce this wine. The wines were left to settle for 7-14 days and then 75% was racked to new ,one year old and older American and French oak barrels for 12 months maturation. This is a bright red/purple coloured wine with good depth, while the bouquet is complex with subtle vanillin and spicy oak Characters. Opulent and lingering with intense blueberry and violets layered with spicy oak characters over a silky tannin backbone. It is a seductive wine offering intense sweet berry primary fruit flavours layered with complexity gained from time in oak. Limited Availability. (12 x 75 cl) Price: £102.15

Kingston Estate ESTATE PetitVerdot South 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. PetitVerdot is a unique red variety that thrives in the warmer regions of Australia, and in particular the Riverland area of South Australia. Originally from the cool Bordeaux region of France, this late harvest variety struggles to ripen in its homeland. However, Kingston Estate has extensive plantings of PetitVerdot growing in selected deep sandy soils on limestone adjacent to the winery where the grapes consequently reach full ripeness and intensity. Great care is taken from the vineyard to the winery where the PetitVerdot grapes were harvested at night and transported to the winery it is then immediately crushed and fermentation begun. On completion of fermentation the wine was matured with French and American oak before final blending and preparation for bottling. The wine is a deep red colour with a bouquet of violets, blueberries, plums and spices reminiscent of a Christmas cake. These flavours continue onto the palate with the spice characters of clove, cinnamon and vanilla well integrated with vibrant cherry fruit flavours. The palate is medium to full bodied with generous fruit and rich tannins. The fruit retains a vibrancy of wild flowers and berry flavours with a wonderful length of flavour.

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
