Hand-picked, then destemmed into open-top fermenters the fruit is cold soaked for about four days to extract colour and fine aromas. Once fermenting, each small ferment batch was plunged twice daily.

After a sixteen day fermentation the free-run wine is then pumped to oak and the skins traditionally basket pressed. 15 months of ageing in a mixture of new and old French oak has created a complex wine with excellent ageing ability. Drinking beautifully now, however cellaring will reward those with patience to wait.

Carefully selected vineyards near Woodside and Gumeracha in the Adelaide Hills consistently produce outstanding Shiraz, whilst the Pinot is sourced from our home block vineyard at Longwood.

Description

Deviation Road Wines

Deviation Road Winery produces exciting cool climate wines from mature vineyard resources in the Adelaide Hills. Owners Hamish and Kate Laurie continue a five generation winemaking tradition. Devoted to the high altitude sites of the Adelaide Hills and with Kate’s French oenology training, the wines they produce are at once traditional and contemporary.

With a fiery passion to create premium bottle fermented and aged Australian sparkling wines together with textural aromatic whites that can genuinely cellar, their signature style is restrained, elegant and balanced.

For many Deviation Road is best represented by its signature Australian sparkling wine, the Loftia Vintage Brut. A blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes hand selected from mature vines on south-facing slopes high in the Adelaide Hills, the Loftia is an accomplished sparkling. Ageing for a minimum of 24 months on lees adds nutty complexity to the fresh citrus, green apple and spring blossom aromas. The palate is crisp, with a lingering, mouth-watering finish.

Deviation Road’s winery and cellar door are ideally located in the picturesque Adelaide Hills near Stirling. The Deviation Road experience combines a spectacular garden setting surrounded by vineyard and heritage listed bush land with a sophisticated wine and regional platters menu.

At Deviation Road every sip reveals a little of the mystery; a taste of the terroir, a glimpse at the season, a hint of the science and a wink to the heritage that crafts its existence. Enjoy a little deviation with this signature Adelaide Hills winery with a story.
