Notes:
This is an exceptional Australian sparkler made in the Champagne Method. Made by the maverick Brian Croser, an exceptionally talented, driven and opinionated individual who has arguably done more for the cause of Aussie wine in the last thirty years than anyone.
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. This is refined, elegant sparkling wine, with smoky, creme brulee aromas backing up the zesty citrus and pineapple flavours.
"One of the finest vintages of Croser to date, this is a fresh, pure sparkling wine with a hint of rose petal perfume on the bouquet and a beautifully clean primary lemon fruit palate. A fine bead and a long finish complete a refreshing aperitif style." 94 Points Tyson Stelzer (Australia), 01 Nov 09
