🍷 TWO WINES. TWO VERY GOOD REASONS TO POP INTO THE PUB. 🍷

We’re pouring something a little special at the bar, and trust us, these two beauties are well worth a try!

❤️ BK SAIGNÉE PINOT NOIR - Think Pinot Noir with a rosé twist. Hailing from the Adelaide Hills, this pale, translucent red rosé is dry, fresh and full of personality.

Expect wild strawberries, crushed cranberries, delicate rose petals and a hint of spice, finishing crisp, savoury and with the gentlest touch of tannin.

🍒 BK CARBONIC PINOT NOIR - Your new favourite chilled red? Quite possibly.

Made in the Adelaide Hills using traditional Beaujolais-style carbonic maceration, this light, juicy and seriously drinkable red is bursting with bright berry fruit.

Think bubblegum, juicy red cherries, alpine berries and a delicious savoury, herbaceous finish with a little amaro bitterness.

Rosé lovers, chilled red lovers – we’ve got you covered.

Come down, grab a glass (or two) and discover your new favourite. 🍷
