"Crushendo" South Australian Single Vineyard Shiraz
A medium-full bodied wine combines the fruit flavours of plum and currants with the silky-smooth taste of chocolate and firm tannins.
Goes well with meat stews and beef roasts.
Explaining Crushendo
The key to making red wine is in the skin of
the grapes.
The flesh of red grapes is pale yellow: most of the
color, flavor, and aroma compounds lie within
the skin. Traditional winemaking includes the
skin in with the fermenting wine to extract these
compounds. Until now, wine kits have been made
with unfermented juice soaked with skins, but without
alcohol (by law, kits can't contain alcohol).
As a result, some of the compounds were very
difficult to extract.
Now, by including the skins, and packaging them
separately, Winexpert Estate Series Crushendo kits
can deliver every nuance, all of the tannin, the
brilliant colors and flavors of a super-premium red
wine, with all the ageing potential and lush flavors
of the best commercial wines.
And it's easy! Winexpert Estate Series Crushendo
is as easy to make as our other Estate Series kits.
The Crushendo grape pack and the ultra-premium
vineyard-designated juices give brilliant aromas and
flavors, and a velvety tannic grip, to make a wine of
unique and piercing intensity.
