Medhurst Estate YRB Pinot Noir & Shiraz 2022 (6 Bottles) Yarra Valley

$232.00 GST Included

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

Very bright mid-crimson red with lovely colour density. Very perfued nose with highly aromatic florals of blue and red fruits and savoury spice.

The Pinot Noir provides the delicious red fruits as well as tension and structure in the wine whilst the Shiraz adds fleshy soft blue fruits, juiciness and charm to the blend.

This wine is lip smacking and bright and is designed to drink young, however will also reward careful cellaring over the next 5+ years.
Co-fermentation is an important aspect to the wine style.

The wine is 51% Pinot Noir and 49% Shiraz. The Shiraz component was picked from the Steep E block whilst the Pinot Noir was hand picked from the middle of our cooler C block.

All fruit was de-stemmed without crushing and 100% whole berries. Indigenous fermentation commenced after a few days and we made daily pumpovers with a persistaltic pump ensuring whole berries remined intact.

Carbonic maceration inside the whole berries produced incredible wonderful perfume and heady red and blue fruit aromatics. After 10 days on skins we pressed to old puncheons for 10 months before light filtration and then botting in November.

About Medhurst Wines

Medhurst Wines is the realisation of the long held and shared vision of Ross and Robyn Wilson to own a property in the Yarra Valley and produce high quality wines. Ross was CEO of Southcorp and drove the company’s acquisition of Penfolds, Lindemans and Wynns in 1990. He has remained passionate about wine ever since.

Ross and Robyn Wilson spent years looking for the perfect site and for many reasons they jointly decided on the Yarra Valley. Robyn Wilson spent her childhood here, and the Australian and international status of this excellent cool climate wine region and its incredible beauty, helped make their decision.

The Medhurst Vineyard was also particularly chosen for its favourable micro-climate, north facing slopes, good drainage and magnificent aspect. It was planted in 2000 with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz.

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.
