Deviation Road Beltana Blanc de Blancs 2015
AU$175, 12.5% alcohol, DIAM cork, Adelaide Hills.

This is a mighty sparkling wine. The complexity of it, the finesse, the impact and the persistence: everything here is elite. It smells and tastes of honey, brine, roasted peaches, preserved lemons and cooked apples, the aftertaste saline and savoury. The nose of this wine is captivating in itself; everything that follows thereafter just seals the deal and more.

97 points – Campbell Mattinson.
