About this Wine
"95 points" "A magnificently crafted Kays Cabernet that sings with the mineral texture of the ancient soils of this legendary vineyard (...)." Tyson Stelzer, WBM, Jan/Feb '20
''McLaren Vale Cabernet, as I so often say, is much better than its reputation. Perhaps that’s why I feel an affinity for it… Blueberry, chocolate, toasted hazelnut, cedar and aniseed. It’s plump and plush, sweetly red and black fruited with layers of fine powdery tannin, some tobacco and earth, and a solid and satisfying finish.'' 94 Points, The Wine Front
About the Winery
The Kay Brothers McLaren Vale Amery Vineyards grace the rolling foothills of the Southern Mt Lofty Ranges. Established in 1890 by Australian born brothers, Herbert and Frederick Kay, the Heritage listed Kays Amery Winery celebrated its first grape crush in 1895 and is the oldest McLaren Vale winery still in founding family hands.
Today, the family continues the winemaking traditions in the heritage listed cellars.
Kay Brothers utilise a traditional method of pressing out their wines. Their Celestial & Coq basket press was installed and ready for use in the 1928 vintage to replace older hydraulic and manual screw presses that had proved unreliable.
