Kay Brothers Amery Vineyard BASKET PRESSED Shiraz 2020
For well over a century Shiraz has played the main role in producing wines of outstanding quality, depth and longevity at Kay Brothers.
The Basket Pressed Shiraz continues this tradition.
The vineyards sourced for this wine have a predominately eastern exposure.
Soil varies from sandy loam at the top of the hill to heavier loam and clay as it transcends down the hill towards the creek.
The dry climate forces the vine roots, ranging from 9–18 years, to delve into the complex underlying geology consisting of quartz and ironstone gravels, weathered and calcareous sandstone, siltstone and limestone.
The Basket Pressed Shiraz provides a fruit driven, full bodied McLaren Vale Shiraz in true Kay Brothers style.
