Selection Estate Crushendo

The new Crushendo grape pack is the key to a brilliantly intense red wine experience.  But how does it work?

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.

All wine kits come complete with yeast, clarifiers, stabilizers, oak and other flavor additives appropriate for the style of wine.”


Catellina Supertuscan Di Siena - Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon explode with richness in the perfect growing conditions of Tuscany.  This wine is dark cherry color with a bold yet supple flavor profile.  Smokey, earthy, ultra-ripe cherry and currants are followed by a long, richly tannic finish.

Valpolicella Classico di Veneto - Corvina Classico has lush, intriguing aromas of ripe red cherries and raspberries, delicate hints of almond, toast and spice and a richly tannic finish that leaves the fruit lingering on your palate. The Crushendo grape pack brings exquisite grape tannin and character to the wine, and the specialLalvin RC 212 yeast enhances the wonderful cherry fruitiness. While it is tempting to drink this wine young it will only reveal its delicate, yet powerful finish of cherry and almonds after a year of aging. Those with willpower will be rewarded.

Montagnac Syrah/Mourvedre - This is a bold wine, ruby red in color with a deep, dark plum and blackberry bouquet showing subtle accents of chocolate. Rich, lush, and complex soft black fruit combines with a hint of spiciness that follows through with a firm, tannic finish on the palate.

South Australian Single Vineyard Shiraz -Conundrum Vineyards is on the Murray River, which meanders for thousands of kilometers through sun-drenched plains and sloping hillsides of South Australia. Beautiful Gobelet-trained Shiraz vines bask in the warm days (tempered by the cool nights of the river valley) making perfectly balanced, intensely rich grapes.

Sonoma Valley Cabernet Sauvignon -Bright wild blackberry and cherry are complemented with abundant spice. Black pepper, vanilla, a hint of cedar, smoke and a characteristic note of cassis (blackcurrant) along with other red berry notes evolve over time to show a hint of dry chocolate on the finish. Finely knit together with a silky mid-palate, this wine has a rich tannic backbone for aging.
