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.
Sourced predominantly from hillside vineyards in the cool Upper Yarra, the fruit was gently pressed and unlike previous years, almost forty percent was barrel fermented in older French oak barriques and puncheons. A small quantity of Semillon from the Lower Yarra was used to add complexity and texture to the wine.
The resultant wine is a blend of small batches that were either fermented in stainless steel using cultured yeast strains or fermented wild in barrel. All parcels were held on fine lees for six months prior to blending and bottling.
Estate grown fruit is hand picked and sorted. The fruit is then whole bunch crushed and pressed until there is nothing left in the skins, the phenolics being an important.
Tight, lean complex citrus fruit with barrel ferment complexity and nutty undertones. The palate is textured and elegant with a long, balanced finish. 'Just gorgeous'. The wine will continue to develop with careful cellaring for up to 5 years.
