PROUDLY REPRESENTING IN VICTORIA
ADELAIDE HILLS
BK WINES
BK Wines was established in 2007 by Brendon and Kirstyn Keys. The goal has been to create fabulous art. Beautiful, unique, sensuous, deceptively minimalist, envelope-pushing art. After learning from masters in NZ, Argentina and California, they trained their sites on the Adelaide Hills because it’s just a cracking great place to live and make wine. With no pretentions to be somewhere it’s not and few preconceived notions about what wine styles to expect, this is a place where non-conformity is the rule. Their little winery is situated in the Hills where it is tucked away surrounded by bush land

YARRA VALLEY
PINEMOUNT
Winemaker Imogen Dillon:After 12 years working with a mix of established and key emergingproducers in WA throughout the Margaret River ad Great Southern Wine regions along with completing several international vintages around the world, I relocated to Victoria with my family and immersed myself into the many wine regions throughout the state. I was struck by the stunning wines and contrast between the Mornington Peninsula and Yarra Valley wine regions and the exposure to what could become new and potentially great opportunities.In following a dream to craft and sculpt my own wines, Pinemount Wines was established in 2016. While this vintage focused on establishing a brand within the Yarra Valley, the intention for Pinemount in the future is to expand the grower base to include the production of character filled wines from varieties sourced in other unique local regions.

GIN
BALCOMBE DISTILLERY
Balcombe is a true small batch dry gin inspired by the flavours of our home on the Mornington Peninsula.In the same way our Garagiste Wines taste of where they are grown we have crafted Balcombe to have a true sense of place.Our gin is deliberately cloudy as we choose not to fine or filter. This adds the extra texture and interest we were after.
