From the winery:
Sourced from hillside sloping vineyards in the Upper and Lower Yarra Valley, the grapes are pressed using gentle handling techniques. Coldstream Hills Chardonnay is barrel fermented and matured in French oak barrels for nine months prior to blending and bottling.The Upper Yarra Chardonnay generally provides attractive citrus notes, with minerally notes and length; the Lower Yarra is normally fuller in style with attractive white peach and quince characters. Blending of parcels from both regions produces wines of complexity, varietal definition and length.
