Crafted using the traditional Champagne method, the Croser Adelaide Hills Sparkling Brut NV is a benchmark Australian sparkling that showcases finesse, complexity, and elegance. This meticulous winemaking process — involving fermentation, maturation, riddling, and disgorging all in the same bottle — results in ultra-fine bubbles and refined character. Sourced from hand-tended, cool-climate Adelaide Hills vineyards, grapes are hand-harvested at peak ripeness and immediately chilled for whole-bunch pressing to preserve delicacy and freshness.
On the nose, this elegant sparkling delivers layered aromas of cashew, honeycomb, and citrus zest. The palate follows with creamy complexity, showcasing Pinot Noir-driven wild strawberry notes and the buttery stone fruit richness of Chardonnay. A soft, yeasty mid-palate gives way to a crisp green apple acidity that lifts the finish with poise and length.
Rated 92 Points by both Tyson Stelzer and Campbell Mattinson, and 90 Points by Tony Love and Andrew Caillard MW, this is a sparkling wine of pedigree and vibrancy.
Perfect as an aperitif or paired with oysters, creamy mushroom risotto, or delicate soft cheeses like triple-cream brie

"The expertise of Croser’s impeccably crafted vintage wines has filtered down to its bargain-priced non-vintage. This is a fruit-focused style of wild strawberries, golden delicious apples, wild honey and notes of mixed spice. A zesty acid cut and a fine bead make for a clean and refreshing aperitif style."

"64% pinot noir, 36% chardonnay. Plenty of attitude. Strawberry and sweet bread flavours put on a pretty impressive show. Serve this and it won't go unnoticed. There's sweetness here but the base material is good. Indeed all things considered it's pretty keen buying."

"Classy, seamless, finely crafted Australian premium."
90 Point Rated - Tony Love
"Amazingly this is a Traditional Method wine that's spent a minimum of 18 months on lees, its cuvée 64% pinot noir, 35% chardonnay and a 1% of “other” variety. Its dosage is 10g/L and it shows with a sweeter fruit sense, though a slight tonic bitterness in the finish cuts that, and a bit of length as well."
Huon Hooke The Real Review
"Light yellow; strange marzipan and macaroon bouquet: an odd lees character? Some oak suspected. An odd wine: the palate is light and youthful, soft and dry, with decent balance. The oak/lees/sulfide thing is off-putting. Fairly dry finish completes what is, on palate, a pleasant drinking bubbly.
Gary Walsh The Wine Front
"A new line from Petaluma. I tasted it alongside a raft of other sparkling wines and Champagne…. Rich peach fruit with strawberry accents and some biscuit – slight flor yeast character wafting about. It has strong vigorous bubbles and a roundness in the mouth – lot’s of fruit and flavour, not so much finesse. Solid sort of sparkling although not the best value."
