Established in 1976, Petaluma is built upon the old-world belief of planting the right varieties for individual vineyards in a specific wine region. The wines of Petaluma are a singular exploration of this founding belief.

The Croser sparkling wines are crafted in the traditional method from fruit sourced from the Piccadilly Valley in the Adelaide Hills. A sublime rose sourced from premium Piccadilly Valley fruit. Pomegranate, wild strawberry and cherry aromas burst from the glass and flood the palate with biscuity notes adding complexity and style. Creamy, stylish and delicious.

Pale pink; the strawberry-accented flavours are totally delicious, and the dosage is relatively low. On a hedonic scale, this is the best of the three Croser releases. Price: $28.00; Alcohol: 13%; Rating: 94 Points & Special Value Star; James Halliday; Wine Companion

57% pinot noir, 41% chardonnay, 2% 'other'. 12 months on lees. Strawberry and apple characters power through the palate in thoroughly seductive style. It packs a punch in a good way.

This traditional method 64/35/1% pinot noir/chardonnay/undeclared fruit is crazy value for what it offers. Lovely strawberry fruit, fine frothy mousse, delicious balance. Price: $30.00; Alcohol: 12.6%; Rating: 93 Points; Tony Love; James Halliday Wine Companion
