Deviation Road 'Beltana' Blanc de Blancs 2009

Deviation Road 'Beltana' Blanc de Blancs 2009 is a flagship sparkling wine crafted to embody the finesse and precision of cool-climate winemaking in the Adelaide Hills. Produced from hand-picked Chardonnay grown at a high-altitude vineyard in Lenswood (550m above sea level), this wine is a testament to meticulous craftsmanship.

The fruit was whole-bunch pressed to preserve purity, with the base wine undergoing a controlled fermentation to enhance aromatic complexity. Following malolactic fermentation, the wine was aged on lees for over five years in the bottle, a hallmark of Méthode Traditionnelle. This extended lees aging has imparted depth, creamy texture, and subtle autolytic character to the wine, making it a standout example of Australian sparkling excellence.

Appearance: Pale gold with brilliant clarity and a fine, persistent bead.

Nose: Aromas of fresh citrus, green apple, and white flowers, with nuanced notes of roasted almonds, lemon curd, and flint.

Palate: Precise and layered, featuring zesty citrus and crisp apple flavors, complemented by creamy mousse, brioche complexity, and a mineral-driven finish.
