Medhurst Yarra Valley Syrah 2023

Rating: 96 Points.  "All estate-grown fruit from a single block; 10% whole bunches and matured in puncheons and hogsheads (35% new). A new and incredibly well-priced syrah from the team at Medhurst. A brilliant, bright purple, you'll find aromas of raspberries, boysenberries and violets together with a touch of spice. Light- to medium-bodied, the fruit is pure and delicious, the tannins silky and fine. Both the wine and the price are spot on."  Philip Rich, Halliday Wine Companion

"Very bright, deep, glowing purple-red colour; intense and bright spicy aromas, meaty smallgoods, a subtle smokiness, while the palate is fine and elegant, with a gentle backbone of fine grained tannins and lovely balance for easy drinkability. Will also take some age well. Stylish cool-climate shiraz, possibly some subtle whole-bunch funk adding an extra layer. Delicious. And great value."  Huon Hooke.  The Real Review
