2023 Deviation Road Loftia Vintage Brut

The 2023 Deviation Road Loftia Vintage Brut is a premium traditional method sparkling wine from the Adelaide Hills, crafted by the family-owned Deviation Road winery. A blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, it is matured on lees for an extended period to build complexity while preserving the region's signature freshness. The nose reveals aromas of green apple, pear, lemon zest and rhubarb, layered with baked brioche and delicate pastry notes.

On the palate, it is crisp and finely textured, with lively natural acidity and a persistent fine bead. Flavours of citrus, white nectarine and apple are complemented by hints of toasted brioche, roasted macadamia and chalky minerality, leading to a dry, elegant finish with excellent length and balance.

Ben's Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Adelaide Hills sparkling for those who appreciate a refined, traditional method style with freshness and complexity. Enjoy well chilled now or cellar over the next 5–8 years. It pairs beautifully with freshly shucked oysters, grilled prawns, sashimi, roast chicken or soft-ripened cheeses.
