Sailing in from McLaren Vale, the Kay Brothers Hillside Shiraz 2020 is a wine that truly encapsulates its terroir. With a commendable score of 92 from the Halliday Wine Companion, this vintage is a testament to the rich, sun-kissed soils it hails from. On the palate, you’ll find a complex mélange of flavors – ripe blackberries, a hint of spice, and a whisper of eucalyptus, all wrapped in a velvety texture that lingers long after the last sip. It’s a wine that pairs beautifully with hearty meals, making it the ideal companion to a slow-cooked lamb shank on a chilly evening. Considering the quality and the depth of character this Shiraz brings, it’s a smart buy for any wine enthusiast looking to explore the robust offerings of Australia’s McLaren Vale.
