Since the early 2000's, Medhurst Estate has been crafting some of the Yarra Valley's finest wines. Medhurst's 'Yarra Valley' Chardonnay always delivers high quality drinking and excellent value-for-money. Made from grapes grown on the Medhurst Estate Vineyard, these were picked earlier than the 'Estate' offering Chardonnay.
Made in an early drinking, approachable stye, the 2023 Medhurst Yarra Valley Chardonnay is poised and powerful with plenty of cool-climate white peach and citrus with a hint gunflint and some quality French oak influence. With excellent length and a beautiful line of natural acidity, this is another impressive Yarra Chardonnay from Medhurst that delivers super value at this discounted price.
"96 Points. Hand picked and whole-bunch pressed to puncheons, hogsheads and barriques (20% new). Simon Steele has proven, on more than one occasion, that he's a dab hand at making chardonnay. This strikes the right balance between aromas of white peach, orange blossom and ginger and those flintier elements. Really lovely intensity on the palate, finishing saline and long. Screw cap. 13% alc. $35. Drink: 2024 - 2028."- Philip Rich, Halliday Wine Companion 2025.
