HISTORY
The first water powered flour mill to operate in South Australia, circa 1860, it was purchased by Petaluma in 1984. This impressive bluestone building with its extensive cellars was promptly resurrected to create a production site for the company’s flagship sparkling wine; Croser, with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes sourced from the Adelaide Hills vineyards nearby. The Petaluma winery is a stones throw away in the Piccadilly Valley with the vineyard as its backdrop.
