Deviation Road Beltana Blanc de Blancs 2016
AU$110, 12.5% alcohol, DIAM cork, Adelaide Hills.

Beautiful wine in a beautiful place. The balance of toasty, shelly, fruity, earthen notes is excellent. This is very nice fizz. That merging of toast and brine, burnt croissants and seaweed is quite wonderfully played. Sweet/ripe fruit but with lots of salty, savoury extras. 95 points.
