A prestige limited edition and award winning cuvée from Charles Orban Champagne growers since 1770. This limited edition cuvée was created to celebrate The Who's 50th anniversary and Daltrey's career as a singer and actor, spanning more than 50 years. The Roger Daltrey cuvée represents a perfect expression of the three grape varieties grown in Champagne - Chardonnay (40%), Pinot Noir (45%) and Pinot Meunier (15%). The grapes are sourced mainly from the Vallee de la Marne from the 2012 harvest, with 20% of reserve wines.

Based on 2018, described by Jean-Baptiste Lecaillon as 'a truly magical year', with oak aged wines from 2009, 2011 and all vintages from 2013 to 2017 inclusive that make up this impeccable house's perpetual reserve begun in 2012. Wonderfully complex aroma rises from the glass as soon as this is poured. So complex on the nose and uncompromisingly dry but well balanced on the palate. Lightly smoky but with no shortage of fine, ripe fruit in an interesting honeysuckle and lime spectrum. Clean and fresh and extremely long. This definitely deserves to be priced above regular non-vintage champagne. Not quite delicate. Not quite creamy. Just hits the right note for a superior blend. Drink: 2022-2030. Rating: 17+/20.

This single malt whisky was matured in a 100 litre French Oak, ex-Sherry cask. It is dark in colour, rich & bold on the palate & offers hints of spice, nuts, dark chocolate & dried fruits. It is just one of a series of handcrafted whiskies from the Overeem Distillery.

VOUETTE ET SORBEE Blanc D'Argile Extra Brut, Champagne

Planted by Charles “Chilly” Hargrave in 1987, the Summertown Vineyard (Piccadilly Valley) is one of the oldest vineyards in the Adelaide Hills. It is planted with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir and the fruit has always been used for sparkling wine – and some years for top end table Chardonnay. The Bizot vineyard is situated in the heart of Piccadilly Valley, and is one of the highest vineyards in the valley at 500m altitude. The soil is red clay and sandy loams over a 70 million-year-old shale rock formation. The Chardonnay is planted on a north-north east facing slope. The terroir in the higher, cooler slopes of the Piccadilly Valley makes it ideal for Sparkling wine produced using Méthode Traditionnelle. DAOSA is made following the Méthode Traditionnelle used in the Champagne region of France. Perfectly ripe Pinot Noir fruit for sparkling was hand harvested in March 2022. The fruit was whole bunch pressed, retaining only 600L per tonne of fruit pressed. This gave very fresh acidity, clean juice and good primary fruit characters prior to fermentation. The juice was fermented cool in stainless-steel tank. Once primary fermentation was complete, the wine went through malolactic fermentation in tank. Before tirage, the wine was blended (assemblage) with some Réserve Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier (15% Réserve wines in the final blend) and aged in large old foudres without sulphur. The wine was then "tiraged" with the addition of yeast and sugar prior to bottling, to induce secondary fermentation in bottle. The resultant sparkling wine was aged on lees before disgorging. The wine shows classic Pinot Noir characters with subtle strawberry notes on the middle palate, tempered by a fine bead and a beautiful complexity and length from the Réserve wines. A classic example of Australian sparkling wine, made in the traditional method.
