Croser was created as it was believed that the right region in Australia could produce sparkling wine to rival Champagne. That region is Piccadilly in the Adelaide Hills. The first vintage of Croser was released in 1985 and the winemaking philosophy continues today starting in the vineyard where all the vines are hand pruned, the grapes hand picked, the fruit whole bunch pressed, and the wines hand crafted in the traditional method.

Expert Reviews

93 Points - Traditional method, hand-picked pinot noir and chardonnay from the Adelaide Hills, aged on yeast lees in the bottle for 12 months; disgorged and bottled on demand. A complex wine; its fine bead lasts for some time, with cashew and almond notes on the bouquet, shifting to include grapefruit and green apple on the long, perfectly balanced palate.

Winery Tasting Notes

As is the tradition with non vintage Champagne, this wine is a blend of the current vintage Croser with reserve wine from several older vintages – with each vintage adding distinctive qualities to the final blend.

Croser Non Vintage stays true to the ‘aperitif’ style of Vintage Croser, showcasing a rich, full blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from selected sites in the cool climate Piccadilly Valley and other parts of the Adelaide Hills.

Hand picked fruit is whole bunch pressed or crushed and pressed, with the free run juice then fermented using Petaluma’s specially selected yeast strain in barrique and tank.

The tiraged sparkling wine is left to age on yeast lees for 12 months and disgorged on demand – this ensures the wine retains optimum freshness and vitality.

The Chardonnay offers nectarine, cashews and biscuity characters – the backbone of the Croser Non Vintage palate – with the Pinot Noir providing a fine mousse and strawberry fruit lift.

Croser Non Vintage’s quality and elegant refreshing style can be enjoyed immediately on release but will also reward careful cellaring.

Winery Profile

The unique Piccadilly Valley, 25 minutes from Adelaide behind Mount Lofty, is a cool, high rainfall viticultural region, climatically ideal for the production of Croser.

The Piccadilly Valley was chosen based on the belief that selected cool sites in the valley would produce Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of moderate sugar, high acid and finesse of flavour. Croser matures on yeast lees in the cool cellars of the Bridgewater Mill for two years before remuage and disgorging. The pristine flavours, defining acidity and elegant fruit structure sets Croser apart as one of Australia’s few aperitif style sparkling wines.

Croser is an age-worthy wine so each year a small proportion of each vintage is held back and allowed to mature for ten years prior to release. Croser Proprietors Reserve wines are identified by a red strip entwined in the cigar band, which guarantees the wine has been stored on lees at Petaluma’s sparkling cellars and disgorged prior to re-release to ensure freshness.
