Kate was 19 when she realised that becoming a winemaker was actually a ticket to her other passion... all things French. This is how she ended up in France pursuing her dream studying at the Lycée Viticole d’Avize in Champagne. Nearly 3 years later, with lots of bubbles in her belly, she returned home to her family winery Stone Bridge in WA for 4 years before joining Hamish in 2001. Was it fate or destiny that Hamish was a vigneron in the Adelaide Hills? Ah, whatever. The result is all that matters, as the region has proved ideal for her to hone her sparkling style here with some of the best fruit the country produces.
This shines through in Deviation Road’s Altair Brut Rosé NV winning Tyson Stelzer’s Best Sparkling Rosé of the year! Deviation Road not only delivers a breathtakingly gorgeous rosé, it does so at a delicious price. It’s a beautifully elegant cuvée that articulates the character of Adelaide Hills pinot noir and chardonnay with the utmost grace and finesse… taste it here when Kate talks all things wine at Mayfair Lane!
Tickets are priced at $60 per person
