- TASTING NOTE: "Glory be, this is a gem of a wine to drink. Mescal and an assortment of blue/red/black berry flavours meld into twiggy spice, woodsmoke and herbs. It's not (too) light, but it's mouth-watering; it has that 'painted in water colours' feel. It's dry and mouth-puckering through the finish, emphasising its food-friendliness further. It has all the complexity you could ever want; it's ready to drink now." 94 Points - Campbell Mattinson, Halliday
- ABOUT THE WINE: This wine is a blend of 70% Syrah from Murdoch Hill and 30% Gamay from Brackenwood. The grapes are 100% whole-bunch co-fermented for 15 days. After pressing, the wine is matured in clay amphoras for 10 months to enhance the fruit profile and soften the tannins. It is then bottled unfiltered and unfined.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER: BK Wines is owned by NZ-born duo Brendon and Kirstyn Keys. Brendon has packed a great deal into the past decade. He bounced between Australia and NZ before working in California with the well known Paul Hobbs; he then helped Paul set up a winery in Argentina. Brendon’s tag-line is ‘Wines made with love, not money’, and he has not hesitated to confound the normal rules of engagement in winemaking. We farm organically and are very hands-on from the vineyard to bottling, which we do in-house. Halliday
