ABOUT US
The Wilson family began Medhurst Wines as the perfect way to combine their passions and expertise – Robyn’s childhood in the Yarra Valley and intimate knowledge of the area and Ross’ years in the wine industry and love of wine.
Medhurst Wines are made exclusively using fruit from our vineyard in Victoria’s Yarra Valley.
The Medhurst vineyard comprises 38 acres (15ha) of low cropped chardonnay, cabernet sauvignon, pinot noir and shiraz vines. Yields average only 2 tonnes per acre (5 tonnes per hectare).
The vineyard is located near the junction of Maddens Lane and Medhurst Road in Gruyere, a unique part of the cool climate Yarra Valley. Vines are planted on north facing, well drained hillsides and are pruned, trimmed and harvested by hand to ensure that the fruit produced is the very best possible.
Neighbour Dominique Portet makes the wines for Medhurst. He discusses the potential for each parcel with Ross before the wines are made. Just like the care and attention the fruit receives, so too the wines. Most wines are aged in a selection of new and old French oak. Above all quality is paramount – there is no compromise.
The result is a limited quantity of estate grown wines. Wines made to be enjoyed and remembered.
We believe our customers should be treated with the same care and passion as our wines. You can buy Medhurst wines using the order form on this website or by contacting us by mail, phone or fax.
