95 Points - Philip Rich
Since the early 2000's, Medhurst Estate has been crafting some of the Yarra Valley's finest wines. With the sole objective of making the best wine possible, careful vineyard management ensures yields are low, averaging two tonnes per acre and providing intensely flavoured fruit.
The 2022 Medhurst Estate Pinot Noir is another top class Yarra Valley Pinot Noir from Medhurst. Vibrant lifted aromas of violets and blue fruited with complex spice notes on the nose. The palate delivers pure fruits and even tannins. It’s a compact and balanced vintage with terrific acid framework. The finish is long and fruit driven. A powerful wine that will mature gracefully over the next 4-6 years.
"95 Points. Hand picked from two blocks, one north facing and one partially south facing. About 10% whole bunches in final cuvée. A light, very bright crimson red. Red fruits, lavender and spice are all present on the nuanced bouquet. Even better on the palate, which has excellent depths framed by chalky, persistent tannins and bright acidity. Good, but definitely a wine that will continue to improve for at least the next two to three years. $55. 13% alc. Drink: 2022 - 2028. Screwcap"- Philip Rich, winecompanion.com.au
