WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Black Mountain Shiraz Cabernet is produced by Kingston Estate Wines through the careful selection and blending of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. The winemaking process involves controlled fermentation to extract desirable characteristics from the fruit. Following fermentation, the wine typically undergoes an aging period, which may include oak influence, to develop complexity and structure before bottling. The estate's practice of sourcing grapes from various South Australian regions allows for a nuanced approach to creating the final blend.
