Est. range:
Tax included.
Description: Experience the depth and richness of South Australia with the Kay Brothers Amery 'Hillside' Shiraz 2018, now available in a magnificent 1500mL magnum bottle. Crafted by one of McLaren Vale’s oldest wineries, this Shiraz is a testament to the craftsmanship and heritage that Kay Brothers have upheld since 1890.
Tasting Notes: The 2018 'Hillside' Shiraz dazzles with its robust profile, featuring ripe blackberry and plum fruits that seamlessly integrate with nuances of spice, chocolate, and a hint of peppery flair. The palate is enveloped by lush tannins and a velvety texture, leading to a long, fulfilling finish that echoes with notes of dark fruit and subtle oak.
Vinification: Produced from the estate’s Hillside vineyard, which benefits from the cool sea breezes of the Gulf St Vincent, this Shiraz is carefully hand-picked to ensure optimal ripeness. It undergoes traditional open-top fermentation followed by an extended maturation in American oak barrels, which imbues the wine with its distinctive character and complexity.

- James Halliday: 94 points - "Elegant yet commanding, a true reflection of McLaren Vale's potential for producing world-class Shiraz."
