WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes for this Shiraz were sourced from Kingston Estate's vineyards in South Australia, including the warm Riverland region and select parcels from Coonawarra. Fermentation took place in high-capacity, temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the primary fruit character. To deliver an accessible style with soft tannins, the wine underwent maturation with oak staves or short aging in older, neutral oak barrels, imparting subtle wood and vanilla notes without adding harsh structural tannins.
