Noted Australian wine writer James Halliday and his wife Suzanne established Coldstream Hills in Victoria’s Yarra Valley in 1985. Halliday juggled his career as a lawyer in the early days. He could often be seen tending his vines at godforsaken hours to squeeze in his workload. The winery is now part of the Treasury Wine Estates portfolio. Winemaking is led by the highly credentialed Andrew Fleming. Over the years, Fleming has upheld Coldstream Hills’ reputation for producing top notch single vineyard and reserve wines primarily from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
