Bekkers

Bekkers is a Mattinson 10-Star winery.

Bekkers is a Mattinson Ten Star Winery.
Only the best of Australia’s best are ranked as a Mattinson Ten Star Winery.

Bekkers is a modern phenomenon of fine Australian wine. It starts, to borrow a phrase, where most others leave off, in that its chief and only concern is ultimate quality and nothing less. In the pursuit of this ideal, Bekkers leaves no stone unturned. Grenache and Syrah are the chief conduits, as you would expect of a fine McLaren Vale producer. But so too now is Cabernet Sauvignon, served with all of its perfumed charm intact, the latter courtesy of Bekkers’ exceptional Clarendon vineyard (acquired in 2020). Vineyards, great vineyards, are the key to Bekkers but then so too is the depth of local knowledge and know-how; Emmanuelle Bekkers, French-born, has made wine in the McLaren Vale region for over 25 years. Toby Bekkers, home grown, has been an outstanding viticultural voice, and exponent, in the region for yet longer. Bekkers is a sensitive combination of maker, grower, and land. The results, oftentimes, are dream-quality wines.
