2018 Kay Brothers Basket Pressed Grenache
The Basket Pressed Grenache is one of Kay Brothers' most popular wines that regularly sells out, perhaps thanks to its fruit-forward style, medium-body with fine tannin and gentle acidity. It's also delightfully aromatic with delicate floral and dark cherry notes. Having recently sold out of the 2017 vintage, Kay Brothers are looking forward to releasing the 2018 vintage at the McLaren Vale Sea & Vines Festival on the Queen’s birthday June long weekend, June 8-10.

2018 Sidewood Sauvignon Blanc
Winemaker Darryl Catlin carefully selected the best parcels of fruit from the Mappinga Vineyard, ensuring that the fruit was picked at precisely the right moment. Citrus and tropical aromas intertwine with delicate, crisp flavours of lychee, green apple, passionfruit and lemon peel. Beautifully balanced with lovely mid-palate roundness and a soft, lingering finish.
