Understanding Kay Brothers, Amery Vineyards Block 6 Shiraz, McLaren Vale, South Australia
The Block 6 vineyard, located on a small rise in the McLaren Vale, is characterised by its rich and complex soils and ideal microclimate, which contribute to the development of deep, concentrated flavours in the Shiraz grapes. The age of the vines adds an additional layer of complexity and structure to the wine. Grapes are hand-picked and fermented in original open top fermenters for balanced fruit and structure expression. The wine ages in a mix of new and seasoned oak barrels, enriching it with layers of flavour and a robust composition. The Kay Brothers Block 6 Shiraz features dark fruit, spice, chocolate and well-integrated oak in a rich and full-bodied palate. This wine is renowned for its remarkable aging potential.
