Adelaide Hills-based winery Petaluma will release its annual vintage range, Yellow Label, on 21 October, as well as its most premium wine from its Croser sparkling portfolio.

Senior winemaker Mike Mudge said the Yellow Label wines are Petaluma’s “pride and joy” every year the range is released.

“With distinguished vineyard sites and meticulous attention to detail, Petaluma has developed a prestigious winemaking reputation over the past four decades,” said Mudge.

“This year’s Yellow Label wines epitomise the style that Petaluma is known for by using only the finest fruit picked by hand to ensure optimum quality from the varied terrain.

“All wines are drinking beautifully now however they will reward those with the patience to carefully cellar and enjoy with generous bottle age. After a tough end to 2019 and navigating the uncertainties at the beginning of 2020, we are excited to release these highly anticipated wines to the world.”

The Yellow Label range includes:

  • 2019 Piccadilly Valley Chardonnay
  • 2018 B&V Vineyard Adelaide Hills Shiraz
  • 2015 Evans Vineyard Coonawarra Cabernet Merlot
