Coldstream Hills Chardonnay 2010
Sweetly oaked aromas of grapefruit, melon and apple with spicy, faintly toasty vanilla oak and spicy nuances of cloves and cinnamon precede a richly fruited, sumptuous palate of elegance, freshness and focus. Its long, handsomely flavoured palate reveals lemon pith-like nuances, finishing with vibrant fruit, finely crafted shape and tangy, citrusy acids. Strongly regional and varietal.

Coldstream Hills
A world class cool climate producer, Coldstream Hills was founded by wine writer James Halliday, who retains an association with this brand that now fits so neatly into Treasury Wine Estates' extensive folio. By any measure it is now a celebrated brand and one of true international standard, releasing wines of seamless balance and harmony. Now having reached its 30th anniversary, it's perhaps time it was given the credit it's due. Winemaker Andrew Fleming now has a green light to explore individual sites, as witnessed by the steadily increasing number of single vineyard wines under this label. Coldstream Hills has the luxury of only releasing Reserve level and single site wines when quality commands it, so is today one of the most dependable makers of Yarra Valley wine with a distinctive smooth, creamy and generously flavoured house style.
