Gibbston’s Kinross launches<br />
own label & Highland Clan<br />
<strong>Summer</strong> 20<strong>19</strong> is set to be a stellar season in<br />
Gibbston with the launch of Kinross’ own wine<br />
label, along with their new subscription based<br />
wine club ‘The Highland Clan’.<br />
A world class wine region offering stunning<br />
landscapes and unique adventure, Gibbston has<br />
long been a star performer in the local wine<br />
industry. Kinross Cottages has operated as the<br />
exclusive cellar door for internationally acclaimed<br />
boutique wine producers Coal Pit, Domaine<br />
Thomson, Hawkshead, Valli and Wild Irishman<br />
for the past four years.<br />
Kinross’ first releases are a 20<strong>18</strong> ‘Holy Schist’<br />
Sauvignon Blanc, 2016 ‘Kilted Pioneer’ Pinot Noir<br />
and 20<strong>18</strong> ‘Liquid Gold’ Pinot Gris.<br />
The Kilted Pioneer Pinot has been named in<br />
tribute to the special legacy of Gibbston’s<br />
‘grandfather’ – and original landowner – Scotsman<br />
Thomas Kinross. Thomas arrived from Scotland<br />
in the <strong>18</strong>60s and together with wife Helen and<br />
their 11 children ran a thriving Trading Post, farm<br />
and gold agency on the land.<br />
Kinross owner Christine Erkkila is excited by the<br />
latest developments “We’ve built Kinross’<br />
reputation by representing five outstanding local<br />
wine makers, each offering something unique and<br />
special. Now to have our own label is a dream<br />
come true. With the launch of our Highland Clan<br />
Wine Club, wine lovers can take advantage of our<br />
partnerships with a select stable of independent<br />
winemakers crafting premium wines in one of the<br />
world’s top wine growing regions.”<br />
The Highland Clan is a quarterly subscription<br />
based wine delivery service where Kinross does<br />
all the hard work for you. Members receive<br />
shipments of three, six or twelve bottles each<br />
season, thoughtfully curated by Kinross from<br />
their wine partners Coal Pit, Domaine Thomson,<br />
Hawkshead, Kinross, Valli or Wild Irishman for<br />
you to enjoy and share with friends and family.<br />
Numerous benefits - including discounts up to<br />
15% on all your wine purchases, a free bottle of<br />
