Lethbridge Wines (Geelong) – A winery that I hadn’t tried wines from prior to this event. The vineyards are maintained with a strong bio-dynamic and organic influence. The Lethbridge Pinot Noir was also included in my Pinor master class review, and although it didn’t show well on that occasion, others have said that their sample from a different bottle was better.
“Allegra” Chardonnay 2004 – Some elegant minerality and slate on the nose. Really well handled oak treatment, with the oak providing strong support and a touch of toast but no signs of the oak dominating the fruit. 89/100
Sauvignon Blanc 2004 – Slightly austere and unyielding. Crisp palate with good acid carrying through to the finish. 87/100
“Menage” Sauvignon Blanc/Semillon 2005 – 50% Sauvignon Blanc and 50 % Semillon with the Sauvignon Blanc elements traits overpowering the Semillon influence at the moment. 86/100
