Yetti and the Kokonut
Mclaren Vale
The world has given us many dynamic duos, Batman and Robin, Sonny and Cher…enter Yetti and the Kokonut. David Geyer (Yetti) and Koen Janssens (Koko) met in 2015 and set forth to experiment with grapes in exciting new ways, think of it as drinking outside of the box. With their feet in the vineyards and their tongues in their cheeks, a new breed of wines was created that needed minimal intervention. These creations have finally escaped the laboratory and are now available right here. A friendship turned into a balanced wine making partnership, Yetti manages the winemaking and vineyards and Koko handles the sales side of the biz plus helps in the cellar. Together they make the wine. Strongly believing that it all starts in the vineyard, Yetti and the Kokonut always farm, co farm or have strong input into the vineyards they take fruit from. These wines are colorful, flavorful and a little tongue in cheek. Best served with good friends and plenty of good vibes.
Wines
Salsa Verde
The fruit for this wine comes off of the biodynamic Gemtree Vineyard in the Vale proper and is the vineyard that really pulls at the strings of Dave Koen. The biodynamic farming of the vineyard is not limited to just the vines, but also the 300 acres of flowers, plants, etc.
B'rosé
The B'Rosé is the product of the b'romance and making a Barossa rosé (b'rosé) between Dave & Koen. These two friends really love making wine together and smashing bottles all the same. Thus, this is the perfect wine for popping corks and crushing bottles, anytime of the year.
