Croser was created as it was believed that the right region in Australia could produce sparkling wine to rival Champagne. That region is Piccadiljy in the Adelaide Hills. The first vintage of Croser was released in 1985 and the wine making philosophy continues today starting in the vineyard where all the vines are hand pruned, the grapes handpicked, the fruit whole bunch pressed, and the wines hand crafted in the traditional method.
Croser NV highlights the expression of Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir coming together with tirage age to create beautiful lifted, strawberries and cream sparkling wines.
Colour: Bright, golden tinged.
Nose: Delightful aromas of strawberries and cream balanced with the refreshing scent of fresh peach,
Palate: A bright and red-fruited profile with notes of strawberries and cream with a refreshing crispness. A subtle touch of sweetness in the mid-palate, lifts the red fruit flavours while 12 months lees age compliments the fruit profile adding complexity and creaminess.
