These traditional sparkling varieties of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier are sourced from the cool climate Adelaide Hills, and are picked early to retain high natural acidity. Small batches of these low yielding grapes are gently pressed in stainless stell basket presses. Following primary and partial malolactic fermentation the inidividual parcels are bottled and inoculated with yeast and sugar to encourage secondary fermentation. The cuvee is fermented in the bottle to develop complexity for approximately four years. This is a dry style sparkling with minerality, a crisp acid backbone and layers of flowers, fruits and toasty savoury nuances.

Tasting Notes White Gold with green highlights and aromas of stone fruit and fresh white flowers. This Chardonnay has flavours of stone fruit and nectarine to complement the natural freshness of its acidity, supporting the texture, balance and mouthfeel of the palate. Analysis Alcohol: 12.8%

Bright white gold with a hint of green, this elegant drop bursts with tropical guava, ripe pineapple, and white peach, wrapped in toasty French oak. A touch of citrus zest and nutty spice rounds out the nose. On the palate, think stone fruits, gentle oak spice, and a flicker of white pepper, all lifted by crisp acidity and a whisper of flinty minerality. Medium-bodied, zesty, and beautifully textured.

Petaluma have access to some of South Australia's premier vineyard sites which are put to impressive use here with their White Label Pinot Gris. 100% sourced from the Adelaide Hills, yet four vineyards are used to create this delicious white; two in the Piccadilly Valley, one near Balhannah and one near Lenswood. Only the very best fruit was selected and left to ferment in older French barriques, the resulting wine has a classic cool-climate backbone with racy acidity and depth of flavour on the palate.
