Coldstream Hills has been making sparkling wine, albeit in small quantities, since 1995. The first release of the wine was a Blanc de Noir, but in more recent times, it has been a more traditional blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
The south facing slopes of the Deer Farm Vineyard at Gladysdale provide an ideal source for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes. The fruit was hand-picked and gently pressed prior to fermentation. Following traditional secondary fermentation in the bottle, the wine spent upwards of six years on yeast lees prior to disgorging and release.

Fine and complex with fragrant lemon blossom Chardonnay aromas and Pinot Noir savouriness. Attractive secondary notes of breadcrust and toast have evolved from extended time on lees.
Lovely fine bead and expansive mousse give rise to notes of preserved lemon, nougat, and underlying nuances of toast and breadcrust. Quite restrained and long, finishing with chalky lemon acidity and beautifully balanced liqueur dosage.
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 cool start to the growing season was overshadowed by a warm and humid late Spring. Dry conditions prevailed throughout the summer months with gloriously warm days and cool nights. A relatively early start to the season, which was fortunately tempered by an even period of sugar and flavour development.
