2027 Best Value Winery 

MedhurstYarra Valley, Victoria 

There’s no question that former Southcorp boss Ross Wilson is a businessman. But when it comes to Medhurst, the winery he purchased in the Yarra Valley with his wife, Robyn, in the late ’90s, he’s not driven by numbers.

“Ross really believes that wine should be accessible to everybody… that people deserve to have access to high-quality wine at an affordable price,” says chief winemaker Rohan Smith.

“That doesn’t mean we’re trying to provide a cheap experience – there’s no expense spared in either the vineyard or the winery,” he adds. “For us, it’s just about making the best possible wine that we can, and then putting an affordable price on it.”
