Wine review: Medhurst Wines Estate Rosé
I love a good Rosé no matter how cold the weather is. Despite Rosé being a popular beverage for Spring and Summer, I argue it can and should be drunk all year round. And that we do! So to help inspire your own winter Rosé sipping, I wanted to share my thoughts on the Medhurst Wines Estate Rosé that I was recently sent to try. This wine is perfect for sipping on with friends and is sure to be a crowd-pleaser with its refreshing notes. Pair it with a sunset and a good charcuterie board and you have a winning combo!
This wine is beautiful inside and out with its vibrant coppery blush hue. On the nose, the Medhurst Wines Estate Rosé has lovely vibrant notes of strawberry and a hint of floral. This follows through into the palate that has a nice note of strawberry along with cassis and a slight citrus note. It’s got a lovely delicate palate and a nice texture to give it just enough oomph. But its finish is lovely and crisp, making this drop oh-so refreshing. I don’t drink many Rosé’s made from Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz, but this Yarra Valley beauty has made me think I should start!
About Medhurst Wines
Medhurst Wines is the realisation of the shared vision of Ross and Robyn Wilson. After years in the wine industry, Ross has been passionate about wine ever since. They spent years looking for the perfect site and chose the Yarra Valley as Robyn had spent her childcare there as well as it’s international status as an excellent cool climate wine region. They planted the Medhurst Vineyard in 2000 with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. Their sole purpose is making the best wine possible, so they keep yields low, averaging two tonnes per acre to provide intensely flavoured fruit.
