Kay Brothers Amery Block 6 Shiraz 2017 exemplifies the pinnacle of premium Australian Shiraz, crafted from a select block of old vines within one of Australia's most storied wineries.

Celebrated for its exceptional quality, the 2017 vintage of this Shiraz earned an outstanding 97 points from renowned critic James Halliday. This accolade highlights the wine’s complex structure, harmonious balance, and impressive aging potential. The bouquet reveals rich aromas of dark berries and ripe plums intertwined with spicy black pepper and subtle earthy nuances. On the palate, it presents firm yet refined tannins, leading to a long, graceful finish with lingering hints of spice.

Hailing from a premium private cellar, each bottle offers a rare opportunity to experience a true classic from one of Australia’s most respected regions. The winery’s deep-rooted tradition and limited production imbue this Shiraz with a distinguished character, making it a prized addition to any collection.

This vintage is perfectly suited to complement robust dishes such as grilled lamb, slow-cooked stews, and aged cheeses, where its power and finesse can truly shine. The Kay Brothers Amery Block 6 Shiraz 2017 stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of old vine Shiraz and the expertise of a winery dedicated to producing wines of lasting excellence.

Reviews

Block 6 is a 1.4ha east-facing block of 125yo vines with very complex soils. Hand-picked, crushed and destemmed, 11 days on skins, matured for 20 months in French and American puncheons (40% new). If ever there was an iron fist in a velvet glove this is it, but with one qualification: the iron fist was created by a master sculptor, the wine quite special, and fully deserving its price.
