Product Details

Petaluma is committed to producing the very best wines from South Australia’s most distinguished viticultural areas. Coonawarra in the South East of South Australia is the premier region for Cabernet Sauvignon. Cooled by the coldwaters of the nearby Southern Ocean, the famed terra rossa soils of the area help provide wonderful growingconditions. The White Label Range is crafted in the same Petaluma philosophy as the highly regarded Yellow Label. Thegrapes are grown in the key regions of Adelaide Hills and Coonawarra.

These wines are perfect to enjoy upon their release and complement occasions with friends, family and food.

The 2016 Petaluma White Label Chardonnay is a bright, fruit-forward wine. Subtle stone fruits and citrus on the nosecombine with lovely creaminess and ripe melon on the palate. Subtle oak frames lovely Adelaide Hills acidity. A complexcreamy textured fruit-driven wine, typical of the modern cool-climate Australian Chardonnay style. Mouth-filling and complex now, it will reward medium term cellaring, filling out in bottle. The Adelaide Hills received excellent winter rainfall in 2015, before an incredibly dry spring. The month of December then broke all records, being the hottest December on record. The region then experienced a devastating frost on the27th of November, incredibly late. Many Hills vineyards sustained major damage, with young shoots being burnt off, especially in lower lying areas. Some of our growers lost significant tonnages, devastating after the season looked so promising. Then in the week of the 22nd of January, the heavens opened and up to 80mm of rain fell across the region. More rain came from the 2nd to the 16th of February, causing worries about disease pressure. Fortunately, programmes in place proved sufficient, and we began picking Chardonnay on the 16th of February, finishing on the 2nd of March.
