Description

Established by winemaking pioneer and legend, Brian Croser in 1976, Petaluma is one of Australia’s most prominent wine companies.  His sole objective was to produce the very finest wines by carefully selecting the best sites within a particular Australian region suited to a chosen variety.  Petaluma gained a huge reputation primarily for their Chardonnay from the Piccadilly Valley.  Brian Crosers approach defied established grape growing and winemaking practices in the 1970’s as he focused on the importance of quality vineyard locations and terroir. This approach was a revolution in thinking which would push Petaluma to the top of the tree.  Petaluma is also renowned for unlocking the great potential of Riesling from the Hanlin Hill Vineyard in Clare Valley as well as Cabernet Sauvignon from the Evans Vineyard in Coonawarra.
