BK Wines Ovum Pinot Gris 2013

Description

BK Wines from the Adelaide Hills is Brendon Keys, a freethinking frontier artisan wine-maker.  His wines are cutting edge, yet they are the very definition of modern Australian quality wine making.  Brendon does things a bit differently but always with great control and purpose. BK Wines are single vineyard, hand picked wines … organically grown using biodynamic practices, minimal intervention (including wild yeasts, no fining or filtering). Brendan’s makes wines of great character and finesse – not overblown and alcoholic and because of his fanaticism in the vineyard his wines give a true sense of terroir and the individual site, making each wine unique. BK wines are highly sought and sell out upon release.   2013 Awarded one of the Top Ten Dark Horses in the James Halliday Wine Companion and 5 Stars.

Named after the concrete ‘egg’ in which it is fermented Brendan evocatively describes it a “steely, ethereal blond with the opulent, luxurious heart”. A touch of fruitiness, texture  followed by lip smacking razor sharp acid finish – delicious – the perfect food wine that makes you want to eat more .. and drink more! Limited

Evocative notes from winemaker Brendon Keys .. “The wine formerly known as Rosetta has been virtually swept off to rural France for a back-to-the-future finishing-school makeover. Immersion in a concrete ‘egg’  has revived Rosetta as Ovum. Our steely, ethereal, feisty blond with the opulent, luxurious heart has shed her tarty exterior to fully express her warm inner brioche. Sumptuous and ovoid but with a piercing, lightning-bolt crack through the centre. Think Opinel bread knife with the sensual, softened curves of serration and a razor’s edge.”
