Eclipse has the highest single strength juice and varietal content of any Winexpert wine kit, past or present. Added grape skins on most of the red wines as well as changes in oak and yeast processes on some styles ensures Eclipse wines are comparable to commercial wines, delivering outstanding varietal character, structure and intensity of flavor. Bottle labels included in each wine kit as well as varietal style sticker with concise wine descriptors. 18 liter kits make 6 gallons.

All of our former Estate Series line has been replaced with the newly released Eclipse line and we now have a new release.

Eclipse Barossa Valley Shiraz with Grape SkinsThe Barossa Valley is Australia’s quintessential wine region. Located in South Australia, Barossa Valley is one of Australia’s oldest wine regions dating back to 1841. This style of big, full bodied Shiraz with rich notes of chocolate and spice has become synonymous with Barossa Valley and Australian wine in general.

The Eclipse Barossa Valley Shiraz has aromas of robust blackberry, peppercorns and smoked meat. It is full-bodied yet smooth with big, dark peppery fruit and plush texture on the palate.

Winexpert Limited Edition Collection

Continuing Winexpert's tradition of raising the bar, we know you will enjoy the Limited Edition 2013 collection of wines. Winexpert has selected five distinguished wines from some of the finest growing regions in the world. These very special wines are only available during their month of release and are so immensely popular that they can be acquired by pre-order only.

South African Viognier Chenin Blanc Roussanne, JanuaryRegion: Paarl, South Africa Blessed by the same combination of hot sunshine and moderating ocean breezes that favor Worcester, the Paarl is encompassed by huge granite outcroppings that provide rain shadows to the vineyards and produce the sandy, mineral-laden soils. Low yields in these soils (less than 2 tons per acre) allow the vines to concentrate all of their growth on pristine, intense fruit.

The WineThe three grapes make a unique wine of elegance, power and delicacy: crisp, but honeyed, with aromas of apricot, orange blossoms, herbal tea and melons give way to a medium body and a long rich finish of floral notes. The depth and complexity of this white wine make it an excellent partner with richly flavored foods: curries, Satay, and South-Asian dishes, along with creamy or buttery sauces and soups.

Sweetness: Dry; Body: Medium; Alcohol: 13%

South African Shiraz Cabernet with Grape Skins, JanuaryRegion: Worcester Vineyards, South AfricaThe sunny southern tip of Africa bathes Worcester vineyards, located north of Capetown, with immense sunshine hours and heat. Luckily the proximity of the Indian and Atlantic oceans not only brings much needed rain, but also the perfect Mediterranean climate to grow extremely ripe, rich grapes.

The WineThis classic blend showcases the depth and ripeness of these intense grapes. Cabernet Sauvignon’s classic character of blackberry, currants, black cherry and cedar blend seamlessly with the densely packed berry, chocolate, espresso and pepper characters of Shiraz, with a hint of earthiness. As it ages it will show ever more blackberry along with plum and a hint of tobacco

leading to rich vanilla and toasty-smoky notes. Definitely a carnivore’s wine, this will complement grilled meat, roasts and game, but will also work extremely well with mushroom risotto.

Sweetness: Dry; Body: Full; Alcohol: 14.5%

Pacific Quartet, February The Region: The Pacific RimEncompassed by North and South America on one side and Australia on the other, the Pacific Rim has micro-climates that match those from all over the world, from the blazing sunshine to crisp mountain air, and soils ranging from sandy loam, stony red clay, nearly pure limestone and everything in between. The range and variety provide perfect terroir for almost any grape, and Winexpert has searched out the best for this blend, reaching all the way from one side of the Pacific to the other.

The Wine The four grapes showcase a host of brilliant flavors of bright fruit, excellent structure and a long finish. Viognier from Chile gives apricots, blossoms and stone fruit. Chenin Blanc from California gives a wonderful melony-honeyed aroma with hints of apple. Gewürztraminer from Washington contributes lychee, rose petals and floral notes, and Muscat from Australia's Murray-Darling Valley gives wonderful grapey notes with dried fruit and hints of orange peel. Full-bodied yet supple, this wine has a range of fruit character and enough acidity to stand up to a wide range of foods, particularly spicy and savory dishes, including Thai cuisine, grilled fish, herbed roast chicken or salmon, but is delicious enough for sipping by itself on a golden afternoon on a patio or deck.

Sweetness: Off-Dry; Body: Medium-Full; Alcohol: 11.5%

Oregon Pinot Noir, March The Region: Willamette Valley, Oregon Stretching from the Columbia River in the north to Eugene in the south, the Willamette Valley is nestled between the Oregon Coast Range in the West to the Cascade Mountains along the Pacific Coast. The climate is mild with cool, wet winters and warm, dry summers, allowing delicate, aromatic grapes to flourish.

The Wine Deep ruby with garnet highlights, Oregon Pinot Noir as a poet rather than a linebacker, and its character is defined almost as much in the elisions between its delicate scents and ethereal aromas as it is from its rich fruit and finesse. Aromas of red cherry, bright raspberry and strawberry give way to the delicate scent of violets, and the tannins are lustrously smooth and full on the palate.The delicacy of this wine allows it to pair with subtle dishes, from the classic Boeuf Bourgignon to game, roast turkey, pan-seared salmon and rich fish such as cod.

Sweetness: Dry; Body: Medium; Alcohol: 13%

Red Mountain, Washington Cabernet Merlot, April The Region: Red Mountain, Washington Red Mountain in Washington State is graced with southwest facing slopes for warmer temperatures and more sunlight hours than any other part of the Columbia Valley. The Yakima River moderates temperature, and the cool air flowing from the north prevents frost from forming, allowing grapes to safely hang for extended periods.

The WineA darkly powerful wine with immediate notes of oak and blackcurrants on the nose come to mingle with peppery spice and cedar, supported by a fruit-driven palate of boysenberry, plum, redcurrant and black cherry. The finish is boldly tannic, with a mouth-filling grip of dense, brambly fruit.The tannins in this wine call for grilled meat and game: steak with blue cheese butter, saddle of venison, and especially roasted lamb with herbs.

Sweetness: Dry; Body: Medium-Full; Alcohol: 13.5%
