To create the specialties of the Coldstream Hills winery, each year outstanding parcels of grapes are earmarked for special attention during making, using new French barriques. When the resulting wine is regarded as outstanding it forms the strictly limited quantity of wine bearing the Reserve label. While the fruit remains the driving force, there is more focus on structure and complexity. The Reserve wines are designed to improve for at least five years, and live for a decade or more.

The emphasis here is on the varietal fruit and length of flavour which the Yarra Valley bestows on each grape variety. The Yarra Valley Wines are designed to be enjoyed upon release - attractive when young, but will certainly reward careful cellaring.
