- A Pinot that attracts first with its aroma of mushroom, and earth, enticing with some exotic dark cherry, wet leaves, and a hint of jasmine. Following the scent, there is the anticipation of taste, and if you have chosen well, expect some flavors of dark cherry with undercurrents of earth and spice.
Extraordinary earthy nose with coffee, chocolate, and delicious red fruit with a long fragrant finish. Truly excellent.” 18/20, Richard HemmingMW, jancisrobinson.com, September 2015

“Full color; a pinot that proclaims it's class from the first whiff of cherry blossom morphing smoothly into dark cherry and plum fruit on the long, perfectly balanced palate; you can
sense the spicy complexity that will come with further bottle age. One out of the box.”
96 points, James Halliday
“Fermented with 50% whole bunches and matured in 70% new oak over 12 months. Outstanding concentration. Deep, inset spice. Meat, intense dark cherry, violet, velvet, polished cedarwood. Mannered but spunky. Curls of smoky tannin. Lots going on. Unfurls beautifully as it rests in the glass. Gun of a wine.” 95 points, Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front,

| Winery | Lethbridge Wines is a boutique producer specializing in highly terroir-driven wines from some of the best vineyards in Geelong, chosen after an exhaustive search in the mid-1990s. Owner-winemakers Ray Nadeson and Maree Collis started their careers as research scientists, then completed winemaking degrees before setting up Lethbridge. With total quantity capped at 3,000 cases, the focus is on quality and individuality, with a strong emphasis on capturing the local terroirs. Lethbridge has built up a cult following in Australia, despite being rarely seen outside Melbourne, and we are honoured to get the only overseas allocation. |
