"This is a sort of complicated story so stick with us for a moment. Somewhere between Valpolicella and Amarone you will find traditional Italian Ripasso: concentrated, bitter Amarone is made from dried Valpolicella grapes, the skins of which are then blended back with Valpolicella to be revinified into Ripasso. In the BK Wines version of the game, however, the rules have been turned around and vintages ignored. 2015 Shiraz in barrel has been revinified with two years-worth of reserved lees and pressed 2020 Pinot Noir skins. So sort of a Ripasso in reverse with older wines over newer pressings. Despite the distinct lack of Italian varietals, the result is oddly Nebbiolo-esque, with violets and wild herbs and a soft, chewy tannic structure. In alchemy, the goal is to produce something genuinely new from basic substances – ideally gold from base metals. BK Ripasso NV is an alchemist’s glinting vinous dream come true." - BK Wines

Meet the Dealers
We’re Antoinette, Natasha, Matt and Simon. We’re good booze lovers just like you. We started our beery journey in 2013 when we opened the famous Brewski on Brisbane’s infamous Caxton Street. In 2018 we opened our first My Beer Dealer under Brewski, it’s one of the few drink-in bottle shops in Queensland and we’re super chuffed with it. 2020 was a big year for us, we launched our online store (you’re looking at it) and opened our second bricks ‘n mortar shop next to Eagle Junction station in Brisbane’s Clayfield (we’re super chuffed with it as well). Both of these have allowed us to complement our awesome beer range with our other passions of good wine and good spirits.
As we’re a small family run business we prefer to support other family businesses and small producers, ensuring that when you visit us it’s not the same old, same old. And by shopping with us we hope you get to feel good about supporting a whole heap of small businesses, just like we do. So if you do choose to buy through us, thank you from us and thank you from our family of suppliers (and thanks for reading this far, our copywriter is stoked).
