STAFF PICKS OF THE WEEK
Feature Producer ➺ BK Wines
Upon the release of his new 2020 releases, we called up one half of BK Wines, Brendon Keys, when he was doing the school pick up. We chatted about the challenges of 2020, how new opportunities flourished into new products and how he reacts to his reputation as a leading winemaking figure for the Adelaide Hills. Spoiler alert: he’s just as humble as ever.
BRIGHT AS THEY COME
Fresh Produce
GLAETZER-DIXON
These wines are in short supply and aren’t always easy to find. However, given the team’s personal affinity for the brand following one of their most memorable winery visits of anywhere in the world, they would have paddled it back over the Bass Strait themselves if they had to.
RILEY HARRISON
Following stints in California, Germany and Portugal absorbing their rich winemaking history, Riley Harrison settled back in South Australia, starting his namesake label. By using some of the best connections you can have in the industry across Barossa, McLaren Vale and Adelaide Hills to source exceptional fruit to spin into wines that are uniquely his own, Riley Harrison is a name you should probably get used to seeing a lot more of.
Arianna Occhipinti
Arienna Occhipinti has been working in the wine industry since she was 16 and creating wines under her own label since she was 22. In the years since, this wunderkind has further developed her craft and commitment to biodynamic practices, adopting the saying “We do not inherit the land from our ancestors, we borrow from our children” as a winemaking philosophy.
Occhipinti has rightfully earned her ‘cult’ status amongst wine fanatics, with her SP68 wines in particular winning over the Sometimes Always team. Her wines are hard to come by and on very limited allocation, so we’re lucky to have these three new vintage releases in stock.
NGERINGA
Discover the new range – and new look – from one of Australia’s pioneering biodynamic and organic wineries, Ngeringa. Their wines are grown, vinted and bottled on the estate, meaning they never venture far from where they’re grown, until they reach your glass.
