Medhurst Estate Rosé 2026 from the Yarra Valley continues the estate’s now‑benchmark single‑vineyard rosé style – ultra‑pale, copper‑pink and beautifully perfumed, with precision and refreshment front and centre. This Medhurst Estate Rosé 2026 takes its cue from the trophy‑winning 2025 and much‑loved 2024 releases, again leaning on cabernet and shiraz for structure and lift.

In the glass expect vibrant notes of wild strawberry, raspberry and crisp watermelon, layered with jasmine, candied orange peel and a gentle tropical nuance, all wrapped in a savoury, chalky line that keeps it from ever feeling sweet or simple. Hand‑picked fruit, whole‑bunch pressing and a lick of seasoned French oak add texture and finesse, giving a creamy yet refreshing mouthfeel and a long, delicate, mineral finish.

It’s a natural match for charcuterie, Mediterranean salads, grilled prawns or a classic Aussie picnic spread, where its bright berries, citrus twist and savoury edge cut through salt and fat with ease. Serve it well chilled at around 8–10 degrees and drink it young over the next couple of summers to catch those aromatics and fruit at full vibrancy.
