2024 Lethbridge Pinot Noir

The 2024 Lethbridge Pinot Noir is a refined and site-driven cool-climate expression from Geelong, showcasing the winery’s commitment to precision, balance and minimal intervention. Sourced from multiple vineyard sites including Moorabool Valley and Bellarine Peninsula, the wine blends inland structure with coastal elegance, resulting in a layered and harmonious style. The nose is lifted and complex, revealing bright red cherry, cranberry and raspberry alongside floral notes and subtle spice. There is a distinctive savoury edge, with hints of dried clove, forest floor and earthy nuance, reflecting whole-bunch fermentation and careful oak integration.

On the palate, it is medium-bodied with fine, silky tannins and vibrant acidity that gives the wine energy and precision. The fruit profile is fresh and focused, with red berries supported by spice, mineral tension and a lightly savoury character. The structure is poised and linear, leading to a long, persistent and elegant finish that highlights both freshness and complexity.

Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a benchmark Geelong Pinot Noir, combining regional purity with finesse and structure. Compared to richer or more fruit-driven styles, it leans toward a more Burgundian expression — focused on savoury complexity, acidity and balance. Enjoy now with light decanting or cellar through 2034+ as it develops further nuance. Perfect with duck, roast chicken, game birds or earthy dishes such as mushroom and truffle.
