In McLaren Vale, South Australia, the BEKKERS story is born of a rare connection with nature and a world of experience. The BEKKERS winemaking story starts with exceptional attention to detail in the vineyard. It is a showcase for Toby’s viticultural abilities and a philosophy of farming which views the vineyard through a prism of ecology, not chemistry. This philosophy extends equally to the cellar where Emmanuelle’s precision is the perfect foil to Toby’s unfettered, open-minded approach to winemaking. Patience and gentle practices bring to life wines that not only possess the generosity for which McLaren Vale is renowned, but more importantly refined texture, fragrance and a sense of restraint. McLaren Vale dominates the label in deference to the importance of provenance and our faith in the region. We intend for our wines to partner good food and to be shared with fine company. Our wines are gently crafted in tiny quantities, with an accent on finesse and fine texture. We strive to inspire confidence and push the limits of what’s possible for McLaren Vale and Australian wine. Available at just a handful of Australia’s premier restaurants and wine merchants, the majority of our production is reserved for our allocation list. Our wines are created for people who desire products with a soul and as a small family wine company, we aspire to stand proud amid the world’s most coveted wines and their craftsmen. This is a story of special wine……from the soil to the soul. Toby & Emmanuelle Bekkers.
