2023 Coldstream Hills Beenak Vineyard Pinot Noir
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.
Seven months in French oak – twenty nine percent new with the remainder in seasoned French oak barriques.
Nose - Perfumed and ethereal with intensely fragrant raspberry and strawberry characters interwoven with hints of rose petal and spice. Subtle French oak and mineral graphite add layers and complexity.
Palate - Beautifully framed with fragrant raspberry and strawberry notes underpinned by mineral graphite, spice, and seamless French oak. The palate is even and long with a characteristic plush silky tannin finish.
