Kingston Family Vineyards Tobiano Pinot Noir

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.

Bottlenotes Team NoteAugust 04, 2010

A lovely, hearty Pinot from one of my favorite new wine regions: Casablanca Valley, Chile. Elegant enough to pair with seared scallops but rich enough for rotisserie chicken, it was a great "make Tuesday night special"wine to enjoy with friends without breaking the bank.
