BK WINES Springs Hill Series Red Blend, McLaren Vale

GinGin. A clone from California, perhaps, but a wine with all of the hallmarks of the Jura. Golden to the eye with an open, slightly oxidative nose (think cashew nuts). Juniper berries and alpine wild flowers with a fresh, rounded texture. Born in the Piccadilly Valley not far from Swaby geographically, made identically in the winery, but ultimately continents apart stylistically. 100% Piccadilly Chardonnay, handpicked, wild-yeast fermentation, whole bunch pressed to barrel, some bâttonage, 10 months in 25% new French oak, unfiltered and unfined, only 50 dozen made.

BK Archer Beau Chardonnay is a wine of exceptional quality and finesse. It embodies the elegance and craftsmanship that define a great Chardonnay. The very best of the Swaby barrels are selected and let to rest for 15 months, with nine or 10 months of bâttonage. 100% Piccadilly Valley Chardonnay, wild yeast fermented.
