Coldstream Hills Reserve Chardonnay 2010
Fine, richly flavoured and deeply fruited, with genuine elegance and finesse. Carefully knit with beautifully handled oak, it reveals a complex, floral and alluring bouquet of grapefruit, lemon blossom, stonefruit, mineral and melon with dusty, slightly charcuterie-like undertones. Smooth and polished, its creamy, seamless presence of tangy peach, nectarine and grapefruit flavours and tight-knit oak is backed by nuances of ginger and clove. Drilled into shape by tightly focused acids, it finishes with a lingering core of fruit.

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.
