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. This ties in directly to Brendon’s greatest strengths as a winemaker which are his passion for artistic expression and his uncompromising quest for high-quality fruit.
The History
After learning from masters in New Zealand, Argentina and California, the team at BK focused their sights on the Adelaide Hills as they deem it as simply not just a great place to make wine but to live as well.
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.
The Philosophy
Brendon worked as an assistant for Paul Hobbs in California before being sent to Argentina to set up Hobbs’ project there. It was from Hobbs that Brendon learned that attention to the smallest detail and relentless hygiene in the winery is essential to making fine wine. The latter is particularly important in order to maintain definition and structure with a low-intervention philosophy.
BK Wines source parcels of fruit from some the most exciting growers in the region. Brendon picks purely on acidic ripeness and works in very close conjunction with his growers at every step of the season.
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 recognized master of his craft.
