As a new decade begins, we celebrate 35 years of Coldstream Hills wines, and reminisce about vintages past. The Yarra Valley holds a special place in the rich history of Australian winemaking, and we are proud to be a part of it.

With Autumn comes the hustle and bustle of vintage in the Yarra Valley, the perfect time to taste and consider the evolution of previous releases as I create the new.

This collection spans five incredible vintages and includes brand new releases of our Yarra Valley wines. A respectful toast to vintages gone by at Coldstream Hills, and vintages yet to come. Our 2019 Yarra Valley Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay are new releases and highlight a compressed harvest period in the winery. Expect generousity and length of flavour, texture and juicy acidity. Our new vintage 2018 Yarra Valley Merlot is also a cracking release, plush and textural, with fruit exclusively from our famed

Amphitheatre Vineyard.

In this years’ Autumn collection, we have included the full suite of our Reserve wines – 2018 Reserve Chardonnay, 2014 Reserve Shiraz, 2018 Reserve Pinot Noir and 2017 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon. A wonderful opportunity to sample from the finest parcels of our Yarra Valley vineyards, each an expression of site and season with remarkable ageability.

We’re exceptionally pleased to note that we have had a successful 2019 Wine Show season. Our 2015 Sparkling won Trophy and Top Gold at the 2019 Yarra Valley Wine Show, a beautiful Yarra vintage and much-welcomed nod to the quality of our Sparkling wines. Our elegant and aromatic 2018 Reserve Chardonnay continues to demonstrate a consistent and prolific wine show pedigree, with two Gold medals from the 2019 Royal Queensland and 2019 Melbourne Wine Shows. Our Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

and 2018 Rising Vineyard Chardonnay have also each scored a Gold medal, rounding out the tally at five Gold medals and a trophy. Critical reception has also proved to be overwhelmingly positive, with our Single Vineyard and Reserve Chardonnays in the 2018 vintage all receiving 95 points and above from Ned Goodwin. Our trio of Reserve reds have also performed well, each scoring 94 points and above.

As always, I’d like to thank you for joining us on the Amphitheatre Club journey. I look forward to a new decade of crafting Coldstream Hills wines, and sharing their stories with you.

Yours in wine,

Andrew Fleming

2018 Coldstream Hills Deer Farm Vineyard Chardonnay Cool Upper Yarra Chardonnay with flavour and driveA tense, highly precise chardonnay from a cooler south to south-eastern facing single vineyard in Gladysdale, in the Upper Yarra. Flint, pebbles and white peach to nectarine allusions are wound about a spool of mineral tension and nicely nestled oak. This expands effortlessly with time in the glass (or the decanter), boding well for a bright mid-term future. Good in 3 years, best around 5. Thrust of flavour and length guaranteed95 points - Ned Goodwin, Halliday Wine CompanionAlcohol 13.5%Peak Drinking Now to 2028

2019 Coldstream Hills Yarra Valley Sauvignon Blanc An elegant new vintage Sauvignon BlancFrom the reaches of the cool upper Yarra, the 2019 Sauvignon Blanc is complete with a small portion of Rising Vineyard Semillon. The wine dazzles with aromatic notes of passionfruit, gooseberry and nettle and a hint of minerality. For added complexity, a small portion is fermented in old oak puncheons – varietal, layered and finishing with juicy citrus acidity, this is a go to wine with seafood and pasta dishes.

The stone fruits, creamed cashew and nougatine easy descriptives for a wine that is so much more." 95 points - Ned Goodwin, Halliday Wine CompanionAlcohol 13% Peak Drinking Now to 2028

2019 Coldstream Hills Yarra Valley Chardonnay This outstanding new Chardonnay is the epitome of regionSourced from vineyards in both the lower and upper Yarra Valley, this is textbook Coldstream Hills Chardonnay.

This is a magnificent second act to the 2018 vintage bursting with flavour, texture and characteristic Yarra Valley juicy acidity.Alcohol 13.5%Peak Drinking Now to 2025

It’s polished but not highly so; there’s still a bit of grain, a good thing…” A single vineyard estate wine, the 2019 Merlot offers an array of dark cherries, blackberries and anise spice. It is plush and textural and enhanced by seamless French oak and finishes with tight chalky tannins.92+ points - Campbell Mattinson, The Wine FrontAlcohol 13.5%Peak Drinking Now to 2028

Lines of herbs are blown through ribbons of tannin; the effect equally impressive. This release is on song."94 points - Campbell Mattinson, Halliday Wine CompanionAlcohol 14%Peak Drinking Now to 2026

2017 Coldstream Hills Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Distinctively regional Gold-medal winning Reserve Cabernet1 Gold Medal"Textbook nose: currant, and pencil lead, towed along by a verdant-edged undercarriage of tannins, detailed and moreish.
