"2021 is definitely a vintage to buy if you’re into Yarra Valley pinot noir. The stars aligned in what winemaker Andrew Fleming calls a ‘near perfect’ vintage. This vineyard is in the Upper Yarra at Gladysdale. The colour is stunningly bright, fresh purple-red; the bouquet is highly aromatic, scented with red fruits and five-spice, a trace of star anise evident, while the sumptuous palate is a riot of ripe dark cherry and brandied cherry, fruit-sweet and succulent. A gorgeous pinot, already showing layers of flavour and rolling through with tremendous persistence." - Huon Hooke
"Vibrant intense raspberry, muddled strawberry and sour cherry characters with savoury graphite notes and subtle French oak. Hints of whole bunch spice add perfume and spice.
Coldstream Hills prides itself for having access to many of the best vineyards in the Yarra Valley. Back in the late 1980s, James Halliday introduced single vineyard wines to Coldstream Hills demonstrating their unique styles. The tradition has continued with the release of the Single Vineyard range.
At higher altitude and planted in 1994 on grey clay-loam soil, the Coldstream Hills Deer Farm Vineyard in Gladysdale produces charming Pinot Noir wines with sour cherry, hints of blue fruits and chalky tannins. Ethereal and perfumed with notes of muddled strawberries and cranberries, this is a beautifully framed wine." - Coldstream Hills
