"Uses French, American and Eastern European oak, which is quite the international selection of forests to employ. Plenty of tannin and concentration, dark berries, black olive, ferrous too, with nougat/coconut/vanilla in support. It’s full-bodied, throaty and throbbing, rumbling with earthy tannin, acidity perhaps a little adjunct on the finish, a minor quibble, but it’s a very good example of McLaren Vale Shiraz that will win friends and put people under the influence." 92pts - Gary Walsh - WineFront
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.
