Coldstream Hills Reserve Chardonnay
icon-award-badge

Yarra Valley Chardonnay perfection!

Complex yet restrained with fine lemon curd and white peach characters underpinned by seamless French oak.  Layered, textured and complex, a hedonistic aperitif or a fine complement to 'special occasion' dishes.

"The Coldstream Hills Reserve Chardonnay is the culmination of a strict selection process, where wine quality is paramount. Released 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 adding elegance, aromatics and length to the wine. House Block adds structure and drive 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." - Coldsream Hills
