Tasting Notes

Vinification Details.

The whole bunches of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes were gently pressed in air bag presses and only the heart run juice from the berries was collected for the production of Croser. The juice was then barrel fermented in 5 year old French oak barriques.

Producer Information

Petaluma is one of Australia's most important producers, famous for seeking out the finest terroirs in South Australia rather than taking a one-site-fits-all approach to its grapes. Riesling (one of Australia-s very best) comes from the Hanlin Hill vineyard in the Clare Valley, Chardonnay from the cool climate Piccadilly Valley in the Adelaide Hills and Cabernet from Coonawarra. Andrew 'Ox' Hardy, a member of the original Hardy wine family and a walking encyclopaedia of South Australian wine, is now the man at the helm, ensuring these vineyards have a very exciting future.
