Halliday Wine Companion 'By the Glass' EP 9: Kate Laurie, Deviation Road, Adelaide Hills.

We catch up with Kate Laurie, winemaker and Sparkling Wine of the Year recipient at the 2022 Halliday Wine Companion Awards, to discuss all things sparkling wine and champagne. 

Raised in WA Kate actually lived in Champagne, France, for three years after graduating university, to hone her skills in traditional method sparkling. So she is the perfect person to discuss the various styles, winemaking techniques and food pairings that make this much-loved wine, so unique.
