Petaluma Croser Vintage
This is a tactical wine that we all need to keep on hand in our sparkling arsenal, an impeccably crafted Adelaide Hills style that ducks strategically under the price of any champagne worth drinking. There’s impressive drive of taut, lemon juice acidity derived from high altitude Piccadilly Valley vines, offset beautifully with the subtle spice of partial fermentation in old barriques. Fine, chalky, mineral acidity carries long on a finish of impressive linearity. $30 at Discount Wines.
