Shop Review: Coldstream Hills was established in 1985
by James and Suzanne Halliday and has since grown to become one of Australia's
leading and most awarded small wineries.
Coldstream Hills Sauvignon Blanc is sourced mainly from vineyards in the cool Upper Yarra. The wine is predominantly fermented in stainless steel, with a small percentage barrel fermented in older French oak - in some years, a percentage of Semillon is blended to add texture. Best consumed when young and fresh

My Review: This was definitely better than the
Spanish Vines Sauvignon Blanc. It had a pungent
fruit smell, like over ripe, almost rotting, peaches. The taste was tangy and crisp with orange and
apple flavors. Lots of subtle flavors
that hard to nail down. The wine also
had a slight heat. Fairly good
overall.
I tried this wine without food.
