2021 Ramato

After learning from masters in NZ, Argentina and California, BK Wines was established in the Adelaide Hills by Brendon and Kirstyn Keys.
Since 2007, BK has become one of the most sought after artisan producers in the Adelaide Hills, and with good reason - the wines are complex, creative, and undeniably fantastic. "Somewhere along the way our passion for rosé evolved into a full-blown love affair with Ramato, traditionally a skin-contact Pinot Grigio from the Friuli region of northern Italy. But ours is a Pinot Gris, which is same-same but different. Whole-bunch ferment with 10 days on skins followed by 10 months in a 500L old French puncheon, a mellow, softening environment. Permit yourself ample time to swirl and wend your way through the aromas – intense, flinty, verging-on-reductive, with hints at Pecorino. Where white Pinot Gris are nectarine and citrus, our Ramato is guava, loquat and quince with salivating tannins. The quintessential long Sunday lunch offering." - BK Wines
