Medhurst Wines

Medhurst Wines is located on the western edge of the Warramate Hills in the centre of the famous Yarra Valley wine region. The property was purchased in 1997 by Ross and Robyn Wilson because of its unique geography and climate. Perfect sites were available for all desired grape varieties; chardonnay, sauvignon blanc, pinot noir, shiraz and cabernet sauvignon.

Over the years the vineyard has grown and matured. In 2010 the architecturally designed state-of the-art winery was constructed. The winery was designed with the ability to process small batches of fruit, enabling the vineyard to be broken into micro-areas and the fruit from these areas to be processed separately – allowing greater control of the winemaking process.

The recently refurbished cellar door and café are on a ridge overlooking the vineyard and mountains to the north. Here, outdoor and indoor seating provide the perfect spot to relax with a glass of wine and a shared platter, lovingly prepared from home-grown and locally-sourced produce.

All the wines are made from estate-grown fruit, producing authentic flavours and lovely textures that impress the most passionate of wine connoisseurs. Over the years, the winery’s dedication to quality has been continually recognised. Most recently, James Halliday awarded the 2018 Medhurst Reserve Chardonnay 97 points, the 2018 Medhurst Reserve Pinot Noir 96 points, the 2019 Medhurst Estate Chardonnay 96 points, and the 2019 Medhurst Estate Pinot Noir 95 points. The 2020 Medhurst Rosé won the Gold trophy at Langton’s Yarra Valley wine show, which was dubbed ‘Best Rosé at Show’.

Take a trip to the beautiful Yarra Valley and explore the stunning views and refined wines Medhurst Wines has to offer. If you can’t visit the cellar door, you can order online and have these wines delivered to your door.

Tasting Notes

2020 Medhurst Estate Rosé
⇐ 2020 Medhurst Estate Rosé​

Pale in colour with a vibrant copper hue, this wine sings of deliciously elusive fresh fruits including strawberry and raspberry, supported by hints of fennel and white jasmine blossom. The palate is savory and refined with a supple creamy texture. A lovely roundness and weight, along with a delicate, chalky line is a trademark of this wine, creating a superb finish.

2018 Medhurst Reserve Chardonnay
⇐ 2018 Medhurst Reserve Chardonnay

With only fifty cases produced, this chardonnay is an exclusive wine. Fruit is gown on a small parcel of the chardonnay block, where the grapes ripen in ideal conditions to produce a subtle yet powerful flavour. This poised and lively palate has a gentle nose, full of nuance. The purity, balance and structure will see this wine age gracefully for eight to ten years.

2019 Medhurst Estate Chardonnay
⇐ 2019 Medhurst Estate Chardonnay​

The nose is highly complex with subtle hints of grapefruit, white peach, cashews and spice, while the palate is poised, full of purpose, with a charming balance of flint and fine creaminess. Complex very tight grain oak will maintain the wine’s integrity for eight to ten years in bottle.

2019 Medhurst Estate Pinot Noir
⇐ 2019 Medhurst Estate Pinot Noir

The 2019 season has delivered a wine of incredible balance and charm. Ensuring this expressive and supple pinot noir is suitable for cellaring, the palate is vibrant with plenty of ripe, soft tannins. The nose speaks of the Warramatte Ranges; bright raspberry with darker cherry undertones, fine oak spice and touch of violets, each detailed and abundant.
