Medhurst Wines, situated in the picturesque Yarra Valley, is the embodiment of a shared vision by Ross and Robyn Wilson to create high-quality wines in a region known for its exceptional cool climate varietals. The estate, meticulously chosen for its favourable micro-climate and north-facing slopes, was planted in 2000 with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Shiraz. With a focus on low yields and intensely flavoured fruit, Medhurst Wines employs careful vineyard management and innovative winemaking techniques to produce wines that are reflective of the Yarra Valley's unique terroir.
Under the guidance of Chief Winemaker Rohan Smith, Medhurst Wines adheres to a philosophy that champions sustainability and the respectful stewardship of the land. Smith's approach to winemaking is grounded in the belief that perfect fruit from the vineyard is crucial to crafting wines of purity, structure, and balance. This commitment to excellence is evident in the estate's diverse range of wines, including its signature Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, and Rosé, each crafted to showcase the distinct characteristics of their vineyard origins.
The Medhurst Cellar Door, an architectural marvel designed by Folk Architects, offers visitors a serene hilltop setting from which to explore the estate's wine offerings. Guests are invited to taste a selection of Medhurst's finest wines, with options for both intimate tastings and larger group experiences. The Cellar Door's design, featuring underground barrel storage, harmonizes with the natural landscape, providing a tranquil backdrop for tasting and enjoying the estate's wines. For those looking to extend their visit, the Cellar Door kitchen serves a menu sourced from the estate's kitchen garden and local producers, offering a perfect pairing of wine and cuisine.
