The first vines planted in the Piccadilly Valley were Chardonnay vines on the slope of the Tiers Vineyard. Today, that same vision to create one of the world’s best Chardonnays is realised in the Petaluma Tiers Chardonnay, the pinnacle of Petaluma’s distinguished Chardonnay sites captured in this unique bottling. The Tiers vineyard in the heart of the Piccadilly Valley was planted over 40 years ago by Petaluma’s founding father Brian Croser. The soils are free draining clay loams with the geology of calcsilicate which imparts the distinctive mineral characteristic in the Tiers Chardonnay.

”Sourced from the lauded Piccadilly Valley site, this is a very good contemporary chardonnay. It plays a slightly terse reductive hand to corral the stone-fruit allusions while evincing a pungent mineral authority that crackles across the finish. This melds with bright acidity to carry good length. Some lees-derived nougatine, creamed hazelnut and truffle placate the tensile feel while layering a juicy finale that bodes well for a long life ahead.”
