Deviation Road Altair Brut Rose 750ml

Top Rated: Sparkling Rosé - 2023 The Halliday Wine Companion Awards 96 Points

55/45% pinot noir/chardonnay. The base vintage is 2018 with reserve wines added; 40 months on lees. Disgorged October, 2021. 8g/L dosage. A finely beaded, salmon-pink sparkling that rates among Australia's best. Confidently presented with complexity and poise, Altair wears a delicate sheen of savoury autolysis with almonds, baked pastry, poached pear, bright red berries aromas. Layer upon layer of delicate flavour, texture and depth. Runs fine, long and so impressive. All class. 2023 The Halliday Wine Companion Awards, 04 Aug 2022.

This wine is predominantly made from Pinot Noir with a small percentage of Chardonnay grapes added for finesse. We select the fruit from the cool south-facing slopes high in the Adelaide Hills. Sweet strawberry, cherry and spice aromas follow through to the palate, where the lively bubbles add lift and balance to these fruit flavours. This wine has wonderful length and supple mouth feel.
