Yarra Valley wines from Coldstream Hills
Chardonnay
Coldstream Hills Chardonnay typifies the Coldstream Hills core style, with varietal fruit character foremost on both the bouquet and palate. Barrel-fermented and matured in French oak barriques (25% new) with occasional lees stirring, it does not undergo malolactic fermentation.
Our ability to source grapes from a selection of vineyard sites ensures we can choose only the best quality fruit to produce a consistently high quality wine with length, complexity and finesse.

Vintages
There is an emphasis here on varietal fruit and length of flavour, which the cool climate bestows on each grape variety. The Yarra Valley wines are designed to be enjoyed upon release & are attractive when young, but will certainly reward careful cellaring.
When the Yarra Valley and Reserve wines of the same vintage are tasted next to each other, the difference will be immediately obvious, yet the wines (and all Coldstream Hills wines) have a family resemblance.
