2025 Lethbridge Pinot Gris

The 2025 Lethbridge Pinot Gris is a refined and textural cool-climate expression from Geelong, showcasing the winery’s focus on precision, balance and an Alsatian-inspired style. Crafted with wild fermentation, partial skin contact and ageing on lees, it delivers both aromatic intensity and structural depth, setting it apart from lighter, simpler Pinot Gris styles. The nose is highly aromatic and lifted, revealing pear, red apple and citrus layered with rosewater, lychee and subtle floral notes. Hints of ginger spice, almond and mineral nuance add further complexity, giving the wine a distinctive, perfumed profile.

On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with a beautifully textured mouthfeel and bright, natural acidity that provides freshness and tension. Orchard fruit and citrus flavours are supported by spice, gentle phenolic grip and a savoury, mineral backbone. The structure is both expressive and precise, leading to a long, dry and refreshing finish with lingering spice and fine acidity.

Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a standout Australian Pinot Gris, leaning toward a more Alsatian style — richer in texture but still driven by freshness and acidity. Compared to lighter Pinot Grigio styles, it offers more depth, spice and structure, making it far more versatile at the table. Enjoy now or cellar through 2030+ as it develops additional complexity. Perfect with pork, roast chicken, seafood or dishes with subtle spice and richness.
