  • Kay Brothers Celebrates 125 Years of Wine Heritage
    KAY BROTHERS CELEBRATES 125 YEARS OF WINE HERITAGE The Kay family has been synonymous with McLaren Vale region for 125 years. It is the oldest family winery in McLaren Vale still in founding family hands with the reputation of crafting some of the finest Shiraz and Cabernets in Australia. The unique old vine Block 6 Shiraz is classified Outstanding in the Langton’s Classification of Australian Wine and rated as one of the Best Wineries of the Region, 5 Red Star Winery in James Halliday Wine Companion 2016. Established in 1890 by brothers Herbert and Frederick Kay, the Amery vineyards nestle between St. Vincent’s Gulf, 40 kilometers south of Adelaide, and the rolling foothills of the Southern Mt. Lofty Ranges. The winery itself is located on the top of a hill 5 kilometers from the McLaren Vale Township and its cellar door, which is part of the original winery complex, boasts stunning panoramic views of the surrounding picturesque valleys and hillsides. The original parts of the winery, as well as the family homestead that was built in the early 1850s, are now “Heritage Listed” by the government as important historic sites in Australia. The winery celebrated its first grape crush in 1895. Today, the third and fourth generations of the Kay family – Herbert’s grandsons Colin and Bill, granddaughter Alice, and great-granddaughter Elspeth – continue the family winemaking tradition. The family’s winemaking philosophy is to make rich, full-bodied, fruit-driven wines (using the 1896 open fermenters and 1928 basket press) with a minimum of 18 months maturation in a combination of American, Eastern European (Bulgarian or Hungarian) and, most recently, French oak casks.

  • BRAND INFORMATION Welcome
    BRAND INFORMATION Welcome Thank you for your interest in Willunga 100 and McLaren Vale wines. This booklet is designed to give you all the key information you need to sell our wine, or to become a brand ambassador. We look forward to working with you! About Us Willunga 100 was founded by David Gleave MW and John Ratcliffe, two Australian wine devotees passionate about making outstanding wines from McLaren Vale. Before our first vintage in 2005, David and John explored McLaren Vale and came across plots of 50-year-old Grenache vines. At the time, most of the wine produced from this fruit was destined for blending as there was little demand for top quality Grenache. David and John decided this had to change, so they made these vines their focus and gave them the attention they deserved. We haven’t looked back since. The Tree The tree featured on our bottles is an old River Red Gum that stands tall over the vineyards. It was well over a hundred years old when the first vines were planted in Australia in the 1840’s. The Willunga 100 Name We take our name from the historic ‘Hundred’ of Willunga that was established in 1839, only three years after the settlement of South Australia. At the time, 100 households were needed to occupy an area in order to qualify for a place on the map, this was called a ‘Hundred’. Today, the Hundred of Willunga is where much of our fruit comes from. Our Winemaker Skye Salter, Winemaker Skye Salter is a passionate and established winemaker who has spent much of her career working in South Australia for wineries such as Hardy’s Tintara, Penny’s Hill, Wirra Wirra, Shaw & Smith and Project Wine.
