BK Wines Ovum Pinot Gris 2016
Lenswood, Adelaide Hills, Mount Lofty Ranges, Adelaide, South Australia, AustraliaBrendan Keys makes low-intervention, naturalist, non-input, single vineyard wines in Adelaide Hills. This is from Lenswood's One Ball Vineyard. After BK empties his pet nat from the Sonoma concrete eggs, he tipped in this pinot gris, leaving it for one month on the skins, but with a CO2 cover on it, so the colour is clear and paler. It remains in the egg for one year on the lees. Slightly grippy, with a slick of salts and nut shells texturing a honeyed quince, yellow plum base. There's a well timed cut of green apple and an alluring and fleeting herbal honeysuckle floral. Lees is ample, but gentle, effortlessly integrated, through the lingering five spice finish. This wine has weight and lightness, breadth and linearity, neither pair a common find, but a special one. Smashable, easily.
