Lethbridge’s sparkling is a delightful blend of Pinot Noir (49%), Chardonnay (45%), Meunier (4%) and Pinot Gris (2%). The Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris are sourced from the cool-climate Barwite vineyard in Mansfield, while the Pinot Meunier comes from Jack and Lois Doeven’s well-established cool site in Drumborg (Henty). The wine is bottled during primary fermentation. Pouring brightly in the glass and this is pét-nat done right: whistle clean and bursting with fresh peach and juicy red berries, with a lovely zesty finish.

From a cool Henty vineyard kept aside for its distinct ginger spice characters, this is the first vintage of this single site Pinot Gris. Wild fermented with a touch of skin contact in new French oak, aged in foudre. Orange blossom, pickled ginger, tea, saline edge from limestone soils. Linear and layered with tension and gentle phenolic texture.

Flavors of red berries, vanilla, and subtle spice linger on the finish, leaving a pleasant and lingering impression. This Pinot Noir is a true testament to the quality of Henty's cool climate and Lethbridge's meticulous attention to detail. It is a wine that is sure to impress and delight any discerning palate.
