About the Wine
BK Wines are up to their usual tricks. When they're not too busy relaxing by the winery's home made half-pipe, they're making some of the most interest driven and energetic wines in Australia.
The Carte Blanche Rouge, for example, is a quirky little number which is based on Shiraz. The wine also spent time on Pinot Noir lees and was given generous splash of Pinot Gris. But the blend itself doesn't matter. What matters is the result. And the result is an easy-going, fun-loving, juicy red wine. With bright flavours of red cherries, fresh berries and a hypnotic floral lift, this is absolutely a wine to chill and enjoy on those long and lazy afternoons.
About BK Wines
BK Wines is one of the poster boys of the modern artisan wine movement in the Adelaide Hills.
Owner/winemaker Brendon Keys is not afraid to do things differently. His wines are all from single vineyards (some biodynamically farmed), fermented with wild yeasts, unfined and unfiltered, with extended skin contact and even clay fermentation eggs occasionally thrown in for good measure.
His wines are creatively imagined, an artist meets skateboarding punk rocker kind of vibe.
Brendan is one of the more respected producers of the Adelaide Hills avant-garde.

From the Producer
Ahh, once again, the unbridled joy of the blend! We have afforded ourselves the same carte blanche with our red wine. Shiraz on Pinot Noir lees… maybe even a touch of Pinot Gris? Fun, bright, and approachable, but with multiple layers worthy of light meditative consideration. The cheerful sum of several beautiful parts, the whole ethos behind the Carte Blanche experiment is to fully express the vintage and create a canvass that can be enjoyed just as easily as talked about.

Critic Reviews
"This is really beautiful and highly crafted, with ultra-fine tannins that spread across the palate. Full to medium body. Creamy texture with wonderful ripe and refined fruit flavors of black cherry and blackberry. Citrus undertones. Shiraz fermented on pinot noir lees. Drink or hold." - JamesSuckling.com
"An intuitive meld of syrah and pinot noir, enriched by pinot gris lees. The mezcal-to dill-doused aromas of whole bunches shade scents of morello cherry, anise, clove and peppercorn. I'd drink this with a thorough chill, mitigating the astringency of a mid-weighted verdant style." - Ned Goodwin MW (Halliday Wine Companion)

I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine. So for example, if the website will only allow you to add 3 bottles and no more, then that is all we have of that particular wine. The good news is we may be able to order more for you. Just contact us on 02 8376 8775 or hello@differentdrop.com and we'll organise the additional quantity for you.
