- Adelaide Hills, SA
- Kate Laurie | Deviation Road
Wine Description
This strawberry-kissed fizz is pure, vital and sophisticated. The Altair Brut Rosé blends 55% Pinot Noir and 45% Chardonnay, creating a finely beaded, salmon-pink sparkling that has earned its place among Australia’s finest. The Pinot Noir lends power and ripe red fruit aromas, while the Chardonnay adds citrus lift and finesse. Expect sweet strawberry, cherry, and spice, lightened by vibrant acidity and a clean, dry finish. After 40 months on lees, the result is a sparkling wine of depth, texture, and poise - described as “all class” by the Halliday Wine Companion, which awarded it 96 points.

- Chenin Blanc
- Swartland, RSA
- Jolandie Fouché | Wolf + Woman
Wine Description
The 2023 Chenin Blanc is a beautifully structured and expressive wine crafted from four distinct bush vine sites, all over 35 years old and farmed sustainably without irrigation. The vineyards - three in the Paardeberg and one in Malmesbury - bring together the freshness and minerality of decomposed granite soils with the richness and texture imparted by iron-rich clay.
On the nose, it’s all bright citrus, sweet lemon, and stone fruit, complemented by subtle spice and florals, while the palate is fresh and electric with bright acidity and luscious texture. Just delicious.
