Kay Brothers 的旗艦酒
你無睇錯, new world就係有唔少酒莊 就算旗艦酒都可以唔貴, 而且有好唔錯既質素同評分

Kay Brothers (Fred & Herbert) 1892年開始係Amery呢塊田種葡萄, 用到而家只有1.6 hectares仲種緊, 算係一個非常細既酒莊。
酒莊想盡量保留當年原始風味, 到而家都用緊好早期既發酵工具, 同埋傳統既釀造方法, 例如仲係用basket press既方法去壓提子囉汁。

雖然old vines 並無一個法例規定或定義點先可以叫做old
但相信呢支酒用左113年既vines, 無咩人會去挑剔佢唔係old vines
而old vines 生產力相對細好多, 有研究就指出咁樣會令酒既果味更加集中,
同時因為old vines既根相對其他new vines更深入地底, 令佢更易吸營養同埋水份,
從而減少唔同年份&天氣引致既不穩定性
如對old vines 有興趣 可以望望呢度有更多資料

Comments from Robert Parker 參考 (RP97)

"Outer quote mark Deep garnet in color, the 2005 Block 6 Shiraz exudes beguiling notes of warm black cherries, raspberry preserves and Chinese dried plums with hints of fruit cake, salami, mocha and licorice.
Very big, full-bodied and rich, the palate is very spicy, densely laden with dried fruits and savory flavors and structured by medium-firm grainy tannins through the long finish.
Mature now, it should cellar to 2024+."
