Tasting Note The Beltana is produced using 100% Chardonnay grapes selected from the cool south-facing slopes high in the Adelaide Hills. Ageing for five years on lees adds complex nut and toasty hints to the fresh citrus and green apple aromas. The palate is long and full, yet with the signature Deviation Road crisp, mouth-watering finish. A persistent fine bead and creamy mousse gives extra lift to these delicious aromas and flavours. |
Winemaking Each parcel was handpicked and whole bunch pressed separately into tank for settling. Fermentation of these small batches lasted around 12 days and the wines in 2009 all went through malo-lactic ferment over winter to soften the acidity. Careful blending of the base wines was carried out in early spring before tirage (bottling). After a minimum of 5 years ageing on lees, each bottle has been riddled and hand disgorged on site in our Longwood winery. Small batches are disgorged at a time to allow the remaining bottles to continue ageing on lees as long as possible. The dosage liquor added at disgorging is crafted using a blend of base wines and is then aged for a minimum of 12 months. |
Vineyard Located high (550m) in the Lenswood district of the Adelaide Hills on Deviation Road, this 25 year old vineyard consistently produces outstanding Chardonnay for sparkling wine. |

Tasting Note 60% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay. Loftia is famously crisp and zesty, the perfect aperitif style sparkling. Aromas of baked red apple and lemon crème brulée on the nose precede the creamy mousse and citrus finish. |
Winemaking Different parcels of fruit are all hand-picked and then fermented in stainless steel tanks. In 2016 partial Malolactic ferment took place to soften the palate and add complexity while retaining the perfect natural acidity in the blend. Tirage (bottling) happened in late winter of 2016 before leaving the bottles to develop with time on lees in the cool, dark cellars. Each bottle is riddled and disgorged on site in our Longwood winery. The dosage liquor added at disgorging to add the finishing sweetening element is crafted using a blend of base wines and is then aged for a minimum of 12 months. |
Vineyard We source fruit from sites located above 550m in the Lenswood and Piccadilly Valley regions of the Adelaide Hills. These sites consistently produce outstanding Pinot and Chardonnay for sparkling wine. |

In our Shiraz vineyard lives the Golden Orb spider. During the summer they catch vineyard pests, which is one reason why we haven’t used pesticides in the vineyard for over ten years.
Tasting notes
Aged in French oak barrel’s for 2 years, this is a elegant cool climate shiraz, that will age well until 2025. Our aim is to make a complex sparkling shiraz, so some years it will be a straight vintage, and others a blend; which ever gives us the very best results. The oak age has given some nice Christmas cake complexity, but still with fresh blackcurrants and licorice. Balanced acidity means it doesn’t look acidic (or tart) when ice cold, and with just a touch of residual sugar means it won’t taste sweet if it warms up in the glass.
We are very proud of our wines - we hope you enjoy them.

100% Mount Gambier.

Tasting notes
“Freshness and fruit focus are the priorities for this vintage cuvée, released within months of harvest. It’s a vibrant celebration of youthful chardonnay and pinot noir, alive with lemon and red cherry fruit that finds refreshing balance between bright acidity and subtle dosage.” – Tyson Stelzer
Winemakers notes
80% Chardonnay 20% Pinot. Mount Gambier is the coolest region in mainland Australia, allowing flavours in the grapes to develop longer while still keeping their crispness. This produces rich lemon and lime Chardonnay, and luscious Pinot Noir. This coupled with the minerality from the rocky flint under just 10cm of soil in our Mount Gambier vineyard, helps create a complexity of flavours and long finish.
We are very proud of our wines - we hope you enjoy them.

It took until 2012 for the vintage to be considered Emerson worthy (and wasn’t released until 2016). Emerson is made using the traditional sparkling wine method – whole-bunch cold pressed and hand-plunged, then bottle fermented for four years on the lees. One word sums it up… Amazing.

Colour
Light, watery golden appearance with greenish tints.
Aroma
Lightly aromatic nose of white fruits.
Palate
Typical of early picked chardonnay with extremely elegant white fruit flavours, wonderful small bead and leaving a clean acidic taste in the mouth.
Cellaring
The low pH and wonderful balance of the wine means it will last for 10 – 20 years, gaining in complexity as it ages.
Vintage
Vintages continued to get earlier and we picked the chardonnay in mid-February – our earliest start so far. The weather was excellent and the fruit was sound.
Vinification
The base wine was whole bunch pressed and after 48 hours cold settling it was racked to a stainless-steel tank where it underwent its primary and malo-lactic fermentations. After protein (Bentonite) and cold stabilization, the base wine was transferred to the Lodestone winery, where Michael Sykes undertook the traditional champagne approach of a secondary fermentation in each bottle. At disgorgement 7.5 g/L of sugar was added.
General Comments
As of November 2018 this wine has had three separate disgorgements, the last in February 2018. It is an excellent aperitif and as some commentators think small bubbles a sign of quality, this is a very high-quality champagne style of wine, indeed as the bubbles are tiny. In blind tastings, it compares very favourably with non-aldehydic styles of champagne, such as Pol Roger.
