THE NEW CRUSHENDO WINE KIT SERIES IS HERE !
Winexpert is very pleased to present the Selection Estate Series with the new grape pack, Crushendo™. This ultra-premium wine kit is now bigger and better than ever with the new Crushendo™. This is the key to a brilliantly intense red wine experience. Why? Because the making great red wine is in the skin of the grapes.
Now, by including the skins, and packaging them separately, Winexpert Estate Series Crushendo wine kits can deliver every nuance, all of the tannin, the brilliant colours and flavours of a super-premium red wine, with all the ageing potential and lush flavours 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 flavours, and a velvety tannic grip, to make a wine of unique and piercing intensity.
So, our first Estate Series wine kit with Crushendo™. is the Santa Ynez Valley Syrah. This Syrah from California has room-filling aromas of blackberry, smoke, plum, ‘jammy’ fruit and even a hint of black pepper spiciness lurking in the intense velvety tannins. The flavours go on and on, with blackberry, blueberry, herbs, black currant toast and vanilla. 
To complement this amazing palette of flavours, the Crushendo™. grape pack brings real grape tannin and character, and the special RC 212 yeast enhances the already spectacular fruit. Right out of the carboy this wine will have intense, gripping tannins, and although drinkable immediately, it will open up and blossom into a wine of unique power and elegance over two to four years.
This is truly our best kit ever. Get this future award winner started today!

NEW Selection International Wine
SOUTH AFRICAN PINOTAGE $84.95-
South African Pinotage has only been on the international winemaking scene since the 1970s. It’s a variety too long neglected in the popular wine market. The Pinotage is a deep, ruby wine with purple highlights. Complex and intense, its layered aromas of ripe raspberry, spices, red cherry and fruitcake give way to a rich complexity of flavors that include raspberry, vanilla, plum, coffee and a subtle hint of banana in the finish.

TWO NEW BIG BEERS FROM Brewer's Best
Big taste and bold flavor is what you can expect from our new “Bold Series”. These two new kits are complete with all the ingredients and instructions to brew 5 gallons of beer.
CALIFORNIA STYLE IMPERIAL PALE ALE  $34.95 
Our take on the popular Arrogant Bastard Ale. Packed with close to nine pounds of malt, this beer is big! The copper-colored brew begins with an intensely rich malt flavor followed by an explosion of hop aroma and bitterness.  A true celebration for your taste buds, not for the weak of heart. 
RUSSIAN IMPERIAL STOUT  $34.95 
Russian Imperial Stout is typical of the style with its high alcohol content of 7%-12% by volume and starting gravity of 1.070-1.100. This full-bodied dark brew has an intense roast flavor with a huge malt influence.  The slight hop bitterness is offset by a touch of sweetness from the grains.
