Wine Description
Our limited release Echelon Collection is made from small parcels of fruit that exhibit exceptional vibrancy and intensity of flavour.
This 2019 vintage Shiraz showcases the ultimate expression of a Barossa Valley Shiraz, a region home to some of the oldest vines in the state, producing full-bodied wines with a richly textured distinct style.
This vibrant Shiraz combines aromas of ripe dark fruit with black pepper spice and subtle hints of characteristic mint. The presence of soft silky tannins offers a well-balanced mouthfeel, giving way to a long velvet textured finish.

Winemaker's Bio
After graduating from Roseworthy with a winemaking degree in 1985, Chief Winemaker Bill Moularadellis was intent on setting up his own winery, which he did on his parent's Riverland vineyard property that same year.
Bill's winemaking skills and business acumen ensured the winery enjoyed steady growth throughout the 1980s and then when Australian wine began to grow in popularity overseas, Kingston Estate was well placed to help satisfy this new demand, with Bill jumping on a plane numerous times a year to visit key export markets.
He continues to run the winery as Managing Director and oversees winemaking as Chief Winemaker.
