THE MEDHYK McLAREN VALE, SOUTH AUSTRALIA
SINGLE VINEYARD McLAREN VALE, SOUTH AUSTRALIA
Estate grown and Single Vineyard.
The heart of Angove McLaren Vale.
“Medhyk” is the ancient Cornish word for ‘doctor’. This wine is named in honour of Angove founder Dr W. T. Angove, who made the journey from Cornwall to South Australia in 1886. Made in extremely limited quanti- ties, no wine better celebrates the hard work and good fortune that has brought the Angove family to McLaren Vale. The winemaking philosophy behind The Medhyk is uncompromising Mc- Laren Vale quality and character. This begins with exceptional vineyard sites and meticulous fruit selection. The handpicked fruit is sorted and destemmed into half tonne bins. After fermentation each parcel is basket pressed and matured in 100% French oak for up to 18 months. The assemblage is rigorous to ensure only the finest barrels make the final blend.
Dr William Thomas Angove established Angove Family Winemakers in 1886; however his first significant grape harvest was in 1893. The grapes for this harvest came from his own unnamed home block in the foothills of Adelaide at Tea Tree Gully, and a vineyard called Warboys a few hundred metres down the road from his residence. To bring some of the Angove history to our McLaren Vale vineyard on Chalk Hill Road we named it the Warboys Vineyard. This vineyard is plant- ed to 40 to 80+ year old vines of predominantly Shiraz and Grenache and is certified organic and biodynamic. In 2018 the Angove Family expanded their vineyard holdings in McLaren Vale with the acquisition of the stunning Angel Gully Vineyard in McLaren Vale sub region of Clarendon. The vineyard was immediately re-named ‘Angels Rise’ keeping a link to its past whilst utilising an apt description of the beauty of its soil, site and potential. The 12.7 Hectare vineyard sit’s high above the small town of Clarendon with an elevation of over 280m above sea level, is mostly dry grown, planted predominately to Shiraz and has a history of producing wines of finesse and elegance. The Warboys and Angels Rise single vineyard wines are only made in the best years and are a true reflection of the terroir, encompassing the uniqueness of soil, site and season.
