"Alluring aromas of dark purple fruits, black currant, dried herbs followed by earthy notes. The palate is dense and concentrated with lashings of rich dark fruits, umami, black olive tapenade and chocolate. Supported by gritty textured tannins lingering on the finish. A full flavoured wine which has you craving for more!!
This first release Hillside Magnum which allows Kay Brothers to pick various parcels of fruit so as to assemble the best blend possible. Block 11, located at the top of the hill, has shallow sandy loam soil over limestone and sandstone. These vines are very exposed to the wind and sun. As a consequence, the vines mature earlier in most years and tend to be low yielding, with intense fruit concentration and powerful tannins. The rest of the Hillside Shiraz is located farther down the hill, in New Block 6, where dark chocolate loam and clay soil dispersed with quartz and ironstone over silty limestone. The New Block 6 component provides the finesse and elegance to the overall blend with savoury flavours and tight structure. The blend of these two vineyards balances each other extremely well." - Kay Brothers
