BK Wines

BK Wines is owned by NZ-born Brendon Keys and wife Kirsty. Brendon has packed a great deal of high and low living into the past decade, driving tractors in the UK, then managing a chalet in Val dIsere (in the French Alps) for eight months. Bouncing between Australia and NZ before working a vintage in California with the well-known Paul Hobbs, he then helped Paul set up a winery in Argentina. Brendons tag-line is wines made with love, not money and he has not hesitated to confound the normal rules of engagement in winemaking, and if he isnt remembered for this, the labels for his wines should do the trick.
