Tasting Notes:

Lethbridge Ménage a Noir Pinot Noir is bright, fresh cherries with strawberries and savory notes of liquorish and herbs. Refreshing acidity and rounded tannins makes for a well structured and textured palate.

Winemaking Description:

Fruit was destemmed and cold soaked on arrival.

Wild yeast fermentation took place in a mixture of small 500L open vats with pigeages and 3000L wooden fermenter with daily pump-over.

Post fermentation maceration enabled good tannin and colour extraction.

Lethbridge Ménage a Noir Pinot Noir was matured in vat for 8 months prior to bottling.

About Lethbridge Wines:

There are few tales as impressive as that of Lethbridge Wines. Ray Nadeson and Maree Collis were both successful medical researchers before succumbing to their desire to create a vineyard and winery in Geelong.

They planted vines on their own rootstocks, built a straw-bale winery and house, and farmed the land according to biodynamic beliefs. Their wines are powerful, structured, pure and long-lived.
