2022 Yetti and the Kokonut Fruit Basket

WINEMAKER: Dave Geyer & Koen Janssens
REGION: Eden Valley, SA
VARIETAL: Muscat, Sultana, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Riesling
VITICULTURE: Organic/Biodynamic

13 different varieties (Riesling, Semillon, Gewurz, Sultana, Mourvedre, Grenache, Muscat rouge, Muscat Blanc etc.) sourced from an organic single vineyard in Eden Valley, planted on sand & decomposing granite. Picked together & skin-fermented for 4 days in picking bins until pressed to hogsheads for 6 months. Unfined & unfiltered

Yetti And The Kokonut is the partnership between two friends, who also happen to be respected lo-fi leaning winemakers in their own right. David Geyer, of Barossa’s Geyer Wine Co. assumes the role of Yetti, along with vineyard management duties. Koen Janssens, the Belgian winemaking import/sommelier behind Bink Wines, also goes by the name of ‘Koko’ to his friends.

This is a collaboration born from friendship and an inquisitive spirit. They are purposefully colourful, juicy and lip-smacking – perfect to splash around with friends. Saying that, their expertise and knowledge of lo-fi winemaking techniques like skin-contact, ceramic egg and large format maturation mean there is plenty of interest and complexity to make it a thought-provoking quaff.
