Overview

Overview

Coldstream Hills prides itself for having access to many of the best vineyards in the Yarra Valley. These sites are found throughout the upper and lower Yarra Valley with each vineyard providing a range of unique characteristics to the wines.
Back in the late 1980s, James Halliday introduced single vineyard wines to Coldstream Hills demonstrating their unique sense of place. The tradition has continued with the release of the Single Vineyard range. The 2023 vintage is our first release from the Beenak Vineyard, located in the cool south-eastern corner of the Yarra Valley.

Taste Description

Taste Description

Nose

Attractive lime pith and grapefruit with white floral notes, hints of nougat and subtle wet slate mineral. French oak is seamless in the background adding further complexity. 

Flavours and Palate

Elegant, restrained, and pure, with citrus notes of lime and lemon at the fore. Quartz-like mineral characters are evident, underpinned by subtle French oak, hints of nougat and beautifully balanced crystalline acidity.

Yarra Valley, Victoria

Cooler than Bordeaux yet warmer than Burgundy, picturesque Yarra Valley is one of Australia's foremost cool-climate wine regions. An easy one-hour’s drive from Melbourne, the area is home to more than 80 cellar doors. In addition to the huge range of wineries, the area boasts superb contemporary restaurants, authentic rustic farms - and luxury overnight accommodation if the sightseeing gets too much! The fertile Yarra Valley soils produce famously elegant and textured Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

VINTAGE CONDITIONS

A challenging Spring across most vineyards with high rainfall and cold, wet conditions during flowering. Summer began with high humidity, but gradually eased to a mostly dry and stable weather pattern. A relatively late start to harvest with gentle ripening of flavours and excellent acid retention.
