Get to know: Kingston Estate, Cabernet Sauvignon

Tasting Note

A big, bold Aussie Cabernet with rich blackcurrant, dark berries, and a hint of spice. The 12 months in French and American oak add subtle vanilla and toasty notes, rounding out the silky tannins and giving the wine a long, elegant finish. This is a full-bodied, structured red that delivers on both depth and balance.

Try this withbarbecued lamb ribs or other rich, grilled meats or black bean enchiladas.

Kate Says

“If you love a classic Cabernet Sauvignon with loads of dark fruit, spice, and smooth oak, this ones a winner. It’s powerful yet polished, perfect for slow-cooked lamb or a big juicy steak. A proper winter warmer!”

Producer Info

Kingston Estate is one of Australias largest family-owned wineries, with a rich history dating back to 1979, when it was founded by Greek immigrants Sarantos and Constantina Moularadellis in South Australia’s Riverland. Their son, Bill Moularadellis, took the reins in 1985 after studying oenology, leading the winery to become the sixth-largest winemaker in Australia.

From its state-of-the-art winery in Kingston-on-Murray, the estate produces over a million cases of wine each year, sourcing fruit from premium South Australian regions, including Clare Valley, Adelaide Hills, and the Limestone Coast. Known for its blend of traditional winemaking and modern innovation, Kingston Estate crafts wines that highlight regional character, earning international acclaim – including Australian Shiraz Winery of the Year (2017, Berlin International Wine Competition).
