MCLAREN VALE, SA
KAY BROTHERS
As McLaren Vale’s oldest family-owned winery, we remain dedicated to our historic vineyard and traditional winemaking methods to craft wines of exceptional quality.
Our methods may be old fashioned, but at Kay Brothers we are proud to make McLaren Vale wines that truly express their terroir. The aim in the winery is to do whatever we can to preserve the amazing flavours and characters nature provides in the vineyard. To achieve this, we strive to be as gentle as possible from harvest all the way through to the original open fermenters, hand plunging and our heritage 1928 basket press.
Small batches are handled individually, maximising the unique characters that stem from each vine. Wines are then transferred to large oak formats to optimise oak integration, creating balanced oak influence. These barrels are then stored in the cool, stone walled cellars, in a stable climate, allowing the wines to mature gracefully. The resulting wines exhibit the balance we so carefully work towards, approachable wines with great aging ability, soft tannins, fruit quality and intensity of flavour.
