Description

This is Brendon Keys taking Pinot Noir and giving it the full Beaujolais treatment. The "Carbonic" in the name refers to the technique: whole bunches are sealed in a large oak vat, allowing fermentation to start inside the intact berries. It is a process that unlocks a specific spectrum of aromatics you just don't get from standard winemaking.

The current release is a wine that walks a tightrope between candy-shop fun and serious structure. On the nose, you get that signature pop of bubblegum and bright, jubey fruit. But on the palate, it shifts gears. There is a powerful herbaceous undercurrent and a distinct lick of amaro bitterness that grounds the fruit and keeps it savoury.

It pours a translucent garnet in the glass and feels incredibly light on its feet. Bottled unfined and unfiltered, this is designed to be drunk with a chill. It is smashable, sure, but there is enough going on here to keep you thinking after the glass is empty.

Dinner arrives well past midnight – a thinly-sliced duck salad that is both sumptuous and gratefully refreshing. Sultry, lively dancing follows beneath a veil of jasmine and the hum of cicadas. Each of this summer’s four wines is a vibrant ode to the season, when the senses are at their most piqued. Carbonic Pinot Noir is as translucent as garnet and fresh as an onshore breeze but as dense and weighted as a hot night on cool sands.

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 toe the line perfectly between a lo-fi and scientific approach to winemaking. The wines are precise, edgy and layered, showing the perfect intersection of a natural wine ideology and sound technical craftsmanship.

His wines are creatively imagined, an artist meets skateboarding punk rocker kind of vibe. And they have a very solid and well-deserved following. In short, BK is one of the more respected producers of the Adelaide Hills avant-garde.
