Kingston Echelon
Shiraz
Description
Our Kingston Echelon range showcases some of the best fruit we bring into the winery each vintage. Only wines of exceptional fruit vibrancy and flavour intensity are selected for Echelon, wines that have superb drinkability now as well as the ability to age beautifully.
Our home state of South Australia is home to many of Australia’s greatest wine regions and we are blessed to bring in Shiraz from many of these regions each vintage, giving our winemakers a wide selection of different parcels to select from. Selected parcels are put into oak hogsheads and allowed to mature for 18 months prior to bottling.
The 2019 vintage finds its home in the distinguished Barossa Valley.
BOUQUET Powerful dark blackberry fruits with subtle notes of black pepper, skilfully supported by integrated toasty oak.
PALATE Intense cassis flavours resonate harmoniously with layers of savoury liquorice and soft silky tannins, resulting in a long textured finish.
PAIR WITH Slow-roasted spiced barbecue pork and chargrilled roasted vegetables.
