Details
BK is winemaker Brendon Keys, a New Zealander now living in the Adelaide Hills. He makes a great range of incredibly drinkable wines, but perhaps none more so than this sparkling wine.
It's made solely from Chardonnay and bottled whilst still fermenting, completing it in bottle. This results in a lightly carbonated mouthful of deliciousness, but also a small amount of lees (just a fancy word for exhausted yeast) in the bottom of the bottle – don’t worry, they’ll dissolve into the wine upon opening!
The wine tastes of apples, lemonade, grapefruit and buttered bread…and of Summer. Enjoy!

Wine region
Adelaide Hills, Australia
The Adelaide Hills wine region, located in South Australia's Mount Lofty Ranges
of South Australia is characterised by its high altitude, cool climate, and diverse soils, which all contribute to the unique terroir that produces elegant, complex, and expressive wines. The region's altitude ranges from 400 to 700 meters above sea level, creating a cooler climate than other wine regions in South Australia. The cool temperatures slow down the ripening process of the grapes, resulting in wines with high acidity, delicate aromatics, and elegant flavours. Top sub-regions are Lenswood, Piccadilly Valley, and Basket Range, each with unique microclimates and diverse soil types that produce singular wine styles, the highlights are Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Shiraz and a whole lot more!
