Winery Story

The Kingston Family first came to Chile in the early 1900's. Carl John Kingston, the patriarch and pioneer, came to Chile looking for copper... (more...) (good idea) and gold (crazy idea). "Gramps" Kingston was an American originally from Central Mine, Michigan, which exists only as a ghost town today in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The Kingstons settled in Casablanca in the 1920s. Gramps' wanderlust yielded a 7,500 acre ranch with a herd of cattle but no gold. Through the years, generations of Kingstons have been raised in the "casa patronal" on the Farm in Casablanca. Our wine's label is inspired by this old house still standing today.

Tasting Note

This fantastic new world Syrah is ripe on the palate and "sauvage," meaty and spicy in the aromas and flavors. Like always, the color is an ... (more...)unbelievably saturated deep red. But for all the intensity of color, aroma and flavor, it is surprisingly gentle on the tongue, fleshy, broad and rich. With strong varietal character and perfume, it will definitely reward laying down for several years.
