At Kimbolton, we are focused on creating great value wines of distinct regional character at a price that over-delivers on quality.
The Case family has grown premium quality, award-winning fruit since 1946. In 1998, Len and Judy Case produced a tonne of old vine shiraz from their Kimbolton vineyard to enjoy with friends. It turned out to be a great drop, and the Kimbolton label was born.

Fig Tree Cabernet Sauvignon 2009
Best Cabernet Sauvignon 2011 Langhorne Creek Wine Showcase
The Rifleman Langhorne Creek Cabernet Sauvignon 2008
Curiously deeper but more developed colour; more concentrated and rich than Fig Tree, despite its lower alcohol; some notes of dark chocolate are in the background, along with ripe tannins. Screwcap.
14.6alc. Rating 93 To 2023. $42. James Halliday’s 2012 Companion
The Rifleman Langhorne Creek Shiraz 2008
Good colour; a medium to full-bodied shiraz that is better able to carry its alcohol than House block, the finish more savoury than warm; has layers of black fruits and licorice, the tannins and oak balance good. Screwcap.

Block 18 Langhorne Creek Sauvignon Blanc 2010
A well- made sauvignon blanc that ticks all the boxes, with an aromatic bouquet and highly flavoured palate, yet avoids any heaviness; the fruit is in the mid spectrum, with some passionfruit to provide lift. Great value. Screwcap.

Special Release Brad’s block Langhorne Creek Montepulciano 2008
A little-known Italian red variety that offers a great deal of tantalising flavours centred around a basket of spices and some crushed tobacco leaf notes and a few red grapes scattered here and there. What I don’t get are its ‘crunchy yet smooth tannins’. Screwcap.
14.9%alc. Rating 91 To 2017. $28. James Halliday’s 2012 Companion
Fig Tree Langhorne Creek Cabernet Sauvignon 2008
Has retained good hue, although not particularly deep; the bouquet has good cassis and blackcurrant fruit, with more of the some on the palate. Screwcap.
