By sourcing from regions that differ in their growing climate Kingston Estate have been able to produce a wine rich and generous with excellent varietal definition.

The Adelaide Hills component provides flavour richness and generosity with the Clare Valley component adding structure and flavour intensity.

Small batch fermentation at controlled temperatures has seen a magnificent colour and flavour profile in this wine.

Reducing the grape skins contact ensures that the wines finish is soft and flavoursome.

After fermentation select parcels were transferred to both one and two year old French and American oak for maturation.

The wine is deep red in colour with purple hues.

Intense blueberry and violet aromas are supported by hints of spice and lavender.

The finish is smooth and rounded with some velvety tannins.

Subtle vanillian oak has combined well with the coffee and blueberry flavours giving this wine great length and character.

Kingston Estate Merlot is a wine to be enjoyed now or it can be cellared for up to 35 years.

This is great value at 8.
