The 2023 Lethbridge Vaughan Pinot Gris is a beautifully expressive cool-climate Pinot Gris from Geelong, crafted by the acclaimed Lethbridge Wines team. Sourced from the Vaughan Vineyard, where maritime influences and free-draining soils promote slow, even ripening, the wine is made with a focus on purity, texture and varietal expression. Gentle handling and fermentation in a combination of stainless steel and older oak create a wine that balances vibrant fruit with subtle complexity.
The nose reveals aromas of ripe pear, white peach and nashi pear layered with honeysuckle, citrus blossom and hints of spice. The palate is silky and beautifully textured, with juicy orchard fruit supported by refreshing acidity and a fine mineral edge. Elegant and well-balanced, it finishes long with delicate notes of ginger, citrus peel and a lingering savoury freshness.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A refined Pinot Gris that showcases the elegance and freshness of Geelong. Its textural palate and vibrant acidity make it an excellent match for grilled prawns, roast pork, creamy pasta, Asian cuisine, mushroom dishes and soft cheeses. Serve lightly chilled and enjoy now through 2029 while its freshness, purity and subtle complexity are at their best.
