Wine Summary Image

The Coldstream Hills Reserve Chardonnay is the culmination of a strict selection process, where wine quality is paramount. Produced 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, which adds elegance and length 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.

Power, restraint, evenness with layers of flavour and length. The lingering palate has real presence, with white peach, lemon barley and nougat, subtle French oak and beautifully balanced lemon acidity. One for the cellar.

Expert Reviews

Gold & 96 Points - Ned Goodwin, Published 01 August, 2019

The most powerful wine of the range and I suppose, given that it is the reserve, justifiably so. Yet it is not the heft that makes this wine, but the unravelling of classy oak layered across cylinders of juicy acidity and pungent mineral tension. The fruit references are restrained yet giving with air. But who cares? This wine is about textural intrigue, scintillating intensity and profound length. Kerpow!

Winery Tasting Notes

Colour

Pale straw.

Bouquet

Fine and pure, the wine offers an array of lemon citrus, white peach and nectarine characters, which are further enhanced by grilled nut barrel fermentation, distinctive wet slate and beautifully subtle French oak.

Palate

Fine and restrained, with complexity, great length of palate and beautifully balanced acidity. Lemon citrus, white peach and aromatic white flower notes are supported by seamless French oak and subtle mineral slate pithiness.

Winery Profile

Brand Profile Image

Established in 1985 by James and Suzanne Halliday, Coldstream Hills is one of Australia’s most respected producers of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

Situated in the cool and beautiful Yarra Valley, about one hour’s drive east of Melbourne, Coldstream Hills’ steep, close-planted vineyards have become a signature of the region.

Coldstream Hills maintains its small winery essence with the wines being hand-made, mainly using open fermenters for the red wines, while the white wines are barrel-fermented.

Inspired by Burgundian techniques, winemaker Andrew Fleming’s goal is to make wines that not only reflect the potential of the Yarra Valley, but demonstrate regional expression, finesse and length.
