KAY BROTHERS AMERY

Established in 1890, Kay Brothers Amery is one of Australia's winemaking treasures. Remarkably this McLaren Vale icon is still in founding family hands with Colin Kay continuing to produce some of South Australia's finest red wines.

Kay's are specialist traditional red wine makers utilising grapes from their own 22-hectare Amery Vineyard. The grape varieties grown are Shiraz (including the 1892 Block 6 Shiraz), Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Viognier, Grenache, Mourvedre (Mataro) and Muscat Blanc.

Colin Kay's winemaking philosophy is to make rich fullbodied fruit-driven wines (using the original Open Fermenters and Basket Press) with small oak cask maturation.

"My Top 20 Producers. Kay Brothers Amery makes some of the world’s most impactful, authentic Shiraz; Block 6 (planted in 1892) is Australia’s most amazing single-vineyard. The winery, headed by Colin Kay, is ancient and wine styles haven’t changed in more than a century - this is one property in perfect harmony with its site and soil.”- Matthew Jukes, Decanter Magazine, April 2010.
