To maintain the unique qualities in their Sparkling Shiraz, Cofield have chosen to create a more complex and complete wine by blending small amounts of older vintages. Crafted to the traditional Methode champenoise, Cofield is treated to an ancient process called tirage, where sugar and yeast are added to the base wine, initiating a second ferment in bottle. This is what creates the sparkle, infuses complexity and introduces texture.

From its initial vintage of 450 dozen, it has grown to become one of Australia's leading small wineries with a reputation that belies its size. Situated in the cool Yarra Valley, its steep, closely planted vineyards have become a signature of the region. So too have its wines, most notably a Pinot Noir which reflects a clime cooler than Bordeaux and warmer than Burgundy. Hand picked grapes from low yielding vineyards in Upper and Lower Yarra Valley are vinified to a variety of Burgundian handling techniques, including whole bunch fermentation and a term of age in a selection of choice French oak barrels. Alcohol 13.5%

Medium red, vibrant purple hues. Fragrant cherry and blueberry fruit aromas with underlying gaminess and spice. Toasty oak adds further complexity to the wine's bouquet, but does not dominate. Vibrant fruit characters of cherry, strawberry and blueberry persist on the juicy palate alongside stalky savoury notes of game, leaf and spice.

Founded by the nation's most renowned wine industry savant, Coldstream Hills is as fastidious today under the stewardship of its highly respected winemakers, as it was in the halcyon days of the emergent Yarra Valley boutique wineries. Vintage conditions permitting, Coldstream Hills releases a special Reserve edition in excruciatingly restricted quantities, assembled from the most exceptional barrels of superior Cabernet Sauvignon. The intensive handling of this princely Cuvée includes the extravagance of new French oak ferments, followed by the luxury of extended maturation.
