Tasting Notes
We have our mate Matt Rorick of Forlorn Hope Wines to thank for inspiring our swing to Ramato. Having tasted our way through enough well-meaning Provençale-style rosés to last a good few lifetimes, this vintage we decided to take turn south towards Italy and the ‘copper-y’ Ramato style. Skin-fermented Pinot Gris with the added complexity of whole-bunch fermentation, our version of this Fruilian specialty is marked by deeply herbal, mountain air aromas. Flavours of mulberry, cedar and the bittersweet tang of a whiskey sour with a maraschino twist. 100% whole-bunch Pinot Gris. Fermented on skins rather than pressed. - Winery Note
BK Wines was established in 2007 by Brendon and Kirstyn Keys. The goal has been to create fabulous art. Beautiful, unique, sensuous, deceptively minimalist, envelope-pushing art. After learning from masters in NZ, Argentina and California, we trained our sites on the Adelaide Hills because it's just a cracking great place to live and make wine. With no pretentions to be somewhere it's not and few preconceived notions about what wine styles to expect, this is a place where non-conformity is the rule. Our little winery is situated in the Hills where it is tucked away surrounded by bush land.
Brendon's greatest strengths as a winemaker are his passion for artistic expression and his uncompromising quest for high-quality fruit. When it comes to the process of winemaking, Brendon's goal, first and foremost, is to source exceptional small vineyards producing grapes that reflect the individuality of a particular site. As a winemaker he uses a minimalist approach to gently guide well-chosen fruit to a beautiful final result in the bottle. This combination of an artistic soul and unyielding quality standards makes Brendon a recognised master of his craft.
But hey, if you really want to know about us. Grab a bottle of BK that peaks your interest, crank up something you love to hear, pour a few glasses and spend time with people who make you smile and think.
