What a difference a year makes! Where 2020 saw the one of the smallest grape harvests in recent memory but apples by the bushel-load in our newly adopted orchard, our second cidre vintage was at the other end of the spectrum – a tiny crop of apples amidst the largest grape haul in the Adelaide Hills since 2008. But as we learn more in the cidre space, we’re coming to understand that, unlike grapes, it’s not uncommon for a large season to be followed by a small one.

There’s always something new to know! Deeply concentrated fruit and slightly higher alcohol than our first vintage (~8%) with amazing colour, driving acidity, and creamy foam. It tastes – for want of a more complicated note – very much like apples, and is a true ode to the cidres of traditional Normandy farmhouses.

Description

BK Wines

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.
