The Coldstream Hills Reserve Chardonnay is the culmination of a strict selection process, where wine quality is paramount. Released only in years where the quality is deemed to be exceptional, the wine is made from a selection of low yielding and mature vineyards. The Coldstream Hills Briarston Vineyard provides an outstanding resource of Bernard clone (French clone) Chardonnay adding elegance, aromatics, and length. House Block complements by adding structure and drive to the wine. Gentle handling practices, including whole bunch pressing are carried out, with each batch undergoing barrel fermentation in new and seasoned French oak.

Powerful yet restrained, with vibrant white peach and citrus notes underpinned by subtle French oak, almond meal barrel ferment characters and an underlying hint of mineral reduction.
Fine, textural and long finishing with juicy acidity and subtle chalky phenolics. Stonefruit, nougat and cashew nut characters are interwoven with mineral slate overtones and harmoniously balanced oak.
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.
A warm start to the growing season with below average rainfall which continued through into the summer months. Temperatures remained consistently above average leading to one of the earliest harvests in recent times. The wines produced reflect the season with generosity and depth of flavour.
