A wine with lovely finesse and freshness. Lovely viscosity and a wonderful mouth feel and flavour are matched by defining acidity and minerality.
Handpicked in March.
The fruit was de-stemmed, crushed and chilled to 5°C and then pressed in a Willmes tank press. The juice was allowed to settle by gravity to near clarity, before being racked to five year old French oak barriques and inoculated with Petaluma’s chosen yeast strain.
The primary fermentation was followed by maturation on yeast lee for a total of three months in oak.
Petaloomah Adelaide Hills Veeyonyay
This wine is made from the Viognier grape by Petaluma, one of Australia’s most respected producers. It has lovely peach and apricot aromas and flavours and is a full-bodied white, so has a rich and creamy feel in the mouth. There’s also just a hint of spiciness as well.
Soft oak with lychee, ginger, peach and a little apricot, flowers and a hint of musk.

Smooth
Ideal for people who enjoy a broad range of wines that are rounded and rich with bright fruity flavours.
Petaluma had one aim when it was founded in the late 1970s, to create the best possible wines from South Australia. Seeking out the finest vineyard sites rather than taking a one-site-fits-all approach to its grapes.
Naturally, the search for a Cabernet vineyard took Petaluma to the Terra Rossa soils of Coonawarra. Similarly, the quest for a Riesling site led the team to the Clare Valley. Petaluma pioneered production in the Adelaide Hills and the Piccadilly Valley, which provide Chardonnay of great purity and concentration, including the legendary Tiers Vineyard Chardonnay.
This multi-regional approach may be unusual but it ensures that each of Petaluma’s wines represents the very best that Australia can produce. With great ageing potential these wines are lauded as one of Australia’s answers to European fine wine.
