Collection: Petaluma | Adelaide Hills, Clare Valley & Coonawarra

Petaluma was founded by Brian Croser in 1976 on a simple conviction: Australia’s finest wines would come from cool-climate regions with strong site identity. Nearly five decades on, that conviction still shapes every wine in the range.

Clare Valley Riesling, Piccadilly Valley Chardonnay and Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon are the three pillars of the Petaluma portfolio — each chosen because the variety and the place are genuinely inseparable. The Clare Valley’s limestone soils and warm days with cool nights produce Riesling of exceptional purity and longevity. The Piccadilly Valley in the Adelaide Hills gives Chardonnay the cool temperatures and natural acidity it needs for texture and complexity. Coonawarra’s terra rossa over limestone delivers Cabernet of structure, elegance and regional precision.

Chief Winemaker Ben Thoman continues the approach Croser established — precise, restrained winemaking that lets site and variety speak. These are wines built for the medium to long term, from one of Australia’s most enduring cool-climate producers.
