BEKKERS

Experienced viticulturist Toby Bekkers and his French winemaker wife Emmanuelle established their eponymous boutique label in 2010. Meticulously sourced and sorted grapes give unashamedly high- end and exceptionally accomplished reds (and Emmanuelle’s Chablis). Parcels are skilfully blended with intensity not density in mind, elegantly harnessing the region’s generous fruit.

Wirra Wirra’s Church Block experience at Domaine Alain Graillot (Crozes- Hermitage), Nepenthe (Adelaide Hills) and Mitolo (McLaren Vale) shines in a strong range. Rayner’s Pirramimma sandstone geology produces his preferred lighter, fragrant style of savoury Shiraz. Grenache, Mataro and Fiano are also finely etched.
