Taittinger Brut Reserve contains a blend of 40% Chardonnay and 60% Pinot Meunier. A golden-yellow beauty with an expressive aroma of fruits, flowers and vanilla pod. The palate is delicate and equally fruity with hints of honey for a touch of sweetness.

Aromas of white stone fruits, citrus and flint are complemented with toasted nut characters on the palate. High altitude sites product premium fruit with medium weight which is balanced with lively acidity giving elegance and a lingering finish. 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 sparkling together with aromatic whites that can genuinely cellar, their signature style is focussed, textural, restrained and balanced. At Deviation Road every sip reveals a little of this 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.

Backed up by a pure Juniper note, juniper is essential for a gin, and supported by a blend of botanicals with spices and some other etheral notes to give a complex and enjoyable gin.

Tim Knappstein brings six decades of Adelaide Hills expertise to the Riposte Morningstar Chardonnay. Sourced from cool-climate, high-altitude vineyards, whole-berry fruit ferments in French oak barriques with extended yeast lees maturation. The palate balances focused grapefruit and nectarine fruit against subtle nougat oak and a creamy mid-palate. Crisp natural acidity gives the wine drive and poise, delivering the distinction of benchmark Adelaide Hills Chardonnay at accessible value. It drinks brilliantly now and will reward cellaring over the next three to five years.

Crafted by Australian winemaking veteran Tim Knappstein, Riposte ‘The Peacemaker’ Pinot Noir showcases the pedigree of cool-climate Adelaide Hills fruit. Sourced from high-altitude vineyards, hand-picked bunches undergo cold soaking and open-top fermentation before maturation in French oak barriques. The palate delivers focused red cherry and dark plum fruit underpinned by fine tannins and balanced acidity. It offers outstanding value and immediate appeal alongside cellaring potential over the next five years.

In the glass: Fine straw yellow with a very slow release fine bead. On the nose: Nectarine and peach over hazelnut with leesy richness. On the palate: Intense and elegant with white peach and white strawberry umami plus fine elements of flint, struck match and velvety roundness under a bright, racy frame of acidity. Deliciously mouth-watering and crisp yet so flavoursome.
