Kingston has received a number of reviews in the latest Halliday Wine Companion:
RATING 92
Kingston Echelon Shiraz 2012
Variety: Shiraz
Region: South Australia
Drink by: 2021
Date tasted: 2/3/2016
Alcohol:14.5%
“Medium-bodied but with ample flavour. Blackberry, ground coffee, bitter choc and perhaps some earth like notes. It fills the mouth and satisfies; tannin has been well massaged into the boot.”
RATING 91
Kingston Estate Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc 2015
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc
Region: South Australia
Drink by: 2016
Date tasted: 2/3/2016
Alcohol:12%
“Well put together. Clean, frisky citrus and passionfruit flavours come with just enough intensity, and just enough deftness of touch. Value.”
RATING 90
Kingston Estate Merlot 2014
Variety: Merlot
Region: South Australia
Drink by: 2020
Date tasted: 2/2/2016
Alcohol:13.5%
“Mount Benson, Clare Valley. Sweet berried fruit with a light dusting of dried herbs. Emphasis on red berries more than black. It works.”
RATING 90
Kingston Estate Shiraz 2014
Variety: Shiraz
Region: South Australia
Drink by: 2020
Date tasted: 2/2/2016
Alcohol:14.5%
“Clare Valley, Mount Benson. Depth of flavour is very good. Mint, earth, choc and blackberry. No argument over its mouth-filling delivery of flavour. Just enough length.”
RATING 88
Kingston Estate Adelaide Hills Pinot Gris 2015
Variety: Pinot Gris
Region: South Australia
Drink by: 2017
Date tasted: 2/3/2016
Alcohol:12.5%
“From a good vintage you’d probably expect better though it still offers a wash of stone fruit, brine and green apple flavours.”
RATING 88
Kingston Estate Padthaway Chardonnay 2015
Variety: Chardonnay
Region: South Australia
Drink by: 2017
Date tasted: 2/3/2016
Alcohol:13.5%
“Full style with pineapple and fuzzy peach flavours given a helping hand by sweet, pear-like fruit. Straightforward but it will please a lot of folks.”
