Petaluma Shiraz
November 5, 2007 by DredgeyRonny, glad to read that you enjoyed the 2005. This is/was a stunning year for wines in the Adelaide Hills and the country as a whole for that matter.
The ‘B&V Vineyard,’ Mt Barker - Adelaide Hills was planted with Shiraz and Viognier in 1992. The first release of the Shiraz was vintage 1998 under the “White Label” to depict the experimental aspect of the young vineyard wine. The 2005 has been bottled under the classic Petaluma Yellow Label. The mature vineyard wine has basked in various accolades and joins the flagship family of Hanlin Hill Riesling, Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot blend and Piccadilly Chardonnay along with our Viognier also from Mt Barker.
Send an email to cellardoor@petaluma.com.au and ask about the limited amounts of 1999 and 2002 Petaluma Shiraz available and the friendly girls and boys at Petaluma’s Bridgewater Mill should be able to sort you out.
The 2002 is looking stunning at the moment, a fine example of this vineyard’s wine and its ability to age. It also won a ‘Trophy’ at the London International Wine Challenge in 2006. Good luck and thanks for the blog .
