About this wine

Coldstream Hills Reserve Pinot Noir is a legacy of the winery's founder, wine writer James Halliday, although he is no longer involved in winemaking. The wine typically shows bright, dark cherry, ginger, meaty aromas and flavours, superb buoyancy of fruit, a silken texture and underlying vanillin oak. The wine finishes with a 'peacock's tail'; a long elegant and flavoursome flourish. Sourced predominantly from the dramatic north-facing 1985 planted Amphitheatre A Block and 1988 planted Ampitheatre B Block, the soils are 'unambiguously acidic' and largely ancient weathered clay loams. The estate-grown fruit is batch vinified using Burgundian techniques including pre-fermentation cold soak, vinification at warm temperatures in open stainless steel fermenters, partial whole bunch fermentation and hand plunging. This is followed by 9-11 months in new (up to 50%) and seasoned French oak barriques and puncheons.

ABOUT THE WINERY
Coldstream Hills
Noted Australian wine writer James Halliday and his wife Suzanne established Coldstream Hills in Victoria’s Yarra Valley in 1985. Halliday juggled his career as a lawyer in the early days. He could often be seen tending his vines at godforsaken hours to squeeze in his workload. The winery is now part of the Treasury Wine Estates portfolio. Winemaking is led by the highly credentialed Andrew Fleming. Over the years, Fleming has upheld Coldstream Hills’ reputation for producing top notch single vineyard and reserve wines primarily from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
