2023 BK Gower Pinot Noir

Brendon Keys has a thing for Pinot, and Gower is where he really lets that love show. Sourced from a single site in Lenswood, this is one of the Adelaide Hills' most expressive takes on the variety - made without shortcuts, and entirely on BK’s terms.

2023 was a cooler year, and you can feel that freshness pulsing through this wine. It was fermented with 100% whole bunches and left on skins for a full month, which gives it both energy and grip. The oak’s subtle - just enough to frame the fruit - and the wine was bottled without fining or filtration. All up, just 200 dozen made.

It’s a bit lighter on its feet this vintage, but don’t mistake that for simple. There’s texture, tension, and plenty of detail, delivered with that signature BK flair.

"Wild raspberries, strawberries, porcini and potpourri lead into orange rind, black tea and graphite. Crunchy tannins and bright acidity from 100% whole-bunch fermentation."
