Silverhand Estate’s Kyng: A Limited Edition Sparkling Masterpiece
The Exquisite Launch of Silverhand Estate’s Kyng
In a limited run, Silverhand Estate, nestled in the heart of Kent, has released just 50 units of its esteemed Kyng for preorder. Each bottle comes enshrined in a bespoke packaging crafted by the globally acclaimed architect, Lord Norman Foster.
A Modern Classic: Kyng’s Debut
The London unveiling of Kyng in October became a significant event in the wine world. Helena Nicklin, a noted writer, presenter, and part of The Three Drinkers, extolled Kyng as a “modern classic.” This 100% Pinot Noir blanc de noirs, a traditional method sparkling wine from the 2016 vintage, is lauded for its five years on the lees, bestowing it with an extraordinary creaminess, weight, and texture. Its fusion of creamy richness with crunchy red fruit nuances elevates Kyng to a stature of wines that demand attention.
During its launch, Kyng was expertly paired with beef carpaccio accompanied by a mushroom ketchup, though its versatility extends to complementing game birds or a robust fish like turbot.
A Packaging Revolution by Norman Foster
The unique packaging tube, a creation of Lord Norman Foster, is a testament to elegance and sustainability. Crafted from wood and stainless steel, it’s designed to transcend its initial role as packaging, finding a second life as a chic wine cooler. Collectors of the mere 50 units available also have the option to personalize the tube with a custom plaque, adding an intimate touch to this rare find.
The Prestige of Kyng
This inaugural release of Kyng, encased in Foster’s innovative design, carries a recommended retail price (RRP) of £395, a testament to its exclusivity and craftsmanship.
