BK Wines 'Carte Blanche' Rouge Adelaide Hills 2022
Vintage Character
The 2022 'Carte Blanche' Rouge from BK Wines is a dynamic red blend that showcases the expressive potential of the Adelaide Hills. This wine brings together Pinot Noir, Syrah, and Cabernet Franc, resulting in a harmonious medley of varietal character. The 2022 vintage in Adelaide Hills was marked by a cool, even growing season with moderate rainfall, which helped preserve natural acidity and enhance aromatic clarity in the fruit.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
On the nose, the wine reveals enticing notes of wild strawberries, black cherries, cracked pepper, violets, and subtle earthy nuances. The palate is medium-bodied and energetic, with the supple texture of Pinot Noir, the spicy vibrancy of Syrah, and the herbal lift of Cabernet Franc all seamlessly integrated. Fine-grained tannins and a persistent, pure finish make this blend both engaging and versatile at the table. It pairs beautifully with dishes such as grilled duck breast with cherry jus, mushroom risotto, or soft French cheeses like Saint-Marcellin, inviting further exploration with every glass.
Winery Background
Founded by Brendon and Kirstyn Keys, BK Wines has built a reputation as one of Australia’s most innovative small-batch producers.
The estate is dedicated to minimal intervention winemaking and sustainable vineyard practices, sourcing fruit from carefully chosen sites throughout the Adelaide Hills. Organic principles are prioritized wherever possible, allowing the unique character of each vineyard to shine through in the finished wines. Brendon’s approach centers on gentle extraction, wild fermentation, and judicious use of oak, resulting in wines that are textural, pure, and true to their cool-climate origins. The adventurous spirit of BK Wines is evident in 'Carte Blanche' Rouge, a label that embodies both creative exploration and a deep respect for terroir.
