Overview

Overview

Coldstream Hills was established in 1985 by James and Suzanne Halliday and has since grown to become one of Australia's leading and most awarded small wineries. The Reserve selection begins in the vineyard, invariably anchored on the low yielding Amphitheatre A Block - the steep north facing slope planted below the winery in 1985.

Sourced from handpicked fruit from the Coldstream Hills Estate Blocks, the fruit was fermented traditionally in small open fermenters. Whole bunches were used in the fermenters to add further complexity and structure.

Taste Description

Taste Description

Nose

Brooding, but not restrained with dark cherry and blue fruits at the fore. French oak, mineral graphite and hints of whole bunch add complexity and depth.

Flavours and Palate

Beautifully framed and detailed with texture, structure, and the vineyards’ characteristic grainy tannin finish. Red cherry and raspberry notes are underpinned by mineral wet slate, seamless oak, and hints of whole bunch spice. Layered and complex – ideal for cellaring.

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 cold wet start to the growing season proved challenging in the vineyards with fruit set and ultimately yields lower than average. Summer began with high humidity, but during the ripening period became stable and dry. The onset of flavour development occurred relatively rapidly with fine acidity retained across all varieties.
