Coldstream Hills Chardonnay 2016 (Yarra Valley)

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.

Vibrant and attractive, the bouquet is dominated by citrus notes of lemon and lime peel. Grilled cashew nut barrel fermentation notes and seamless French oak underpins the wine adding further complexity and style. Hints of mineral are evident and will continue to develop as the wine matures.

An un-seasonally warm Spring led to early budburst and fruit set. Canopies were healthy with yields generally above average. Dry , favourable conditions ensued with rapid fruit ripening and a uncharacteristically compressed vintage. Fruit quality was high, with the wines produced being generous in flavour. Winery Notes
