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. |

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. |
