2023 Coldstream Hills Beenak Vineyard Chardonnay

Coldstream Hills prides itself for having access to many of the best vineyards in 
the Yarra Valley. These sites are found throughout the upper and lower Yarra 
Valley with each vineyard providing a range of unique characteristics to the 
wines. Using vines planted in 1989, the 2023 vintage is our first release from the Beenak Vineyard, located in the cool south-eastern corner of the Yarra Valley.

The wine has been fermented and matured for eight months in seasoned and new (25%) French oak barriques.

Nose - Attractive lime pith and grapefruit with white floral notes, hints of nougat and subtle wet slate mineral. French oak is seamless in the background adding further complexity.

Palate - Elegant, restrained, and pure, with citrus notes of lime and lemon at the fore. Quartz-like mineral characters are evident, underpinned by subtle French oak, hints of nougat and beautifully balanced crystalline acidity.
