[SOLD-OUT] Coldstream Hills Reserve Chardonnay 2014

Wine Front 96 points!
"Coldstream Hills chardonnay is never under-powered and this certainly isn't, but it is long, lean and elegant. When the style works, the style works. It tastes of chalk and mineral, gunsmoke and bursts of grapefruit and nectarine. Oatmeal lurks. As does flint. It's sophisticated and pleasurable at once, and the finish takes a good look at tomorrow, and heads for it."
Campbell Mattinson, Wine Front, 2015

Gourmet Traveller Magazine 96 points!
"The smoky oak and funky suphide nuances are in full force here and the wine is very complex, showing lemon and honey notes. The palate is tight, focused, intense and balanced with excellent line and length. The finish is clean and dry. A slick, cutting-edge Chardonnay."
Gourmet Traveller Magazine, June 2016

The Coldstream Hills Reserve Chardonnay is the culmination of a strict selection process, where wine quality is paramount.
Produced 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, which adds elegance and length 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.
