“In the 2026 Companion, Philip Rich accorded the submissions 14 gold medal scores, and if you consider that they also make compellingly distinct sparkling wine under the Nadeson Collis banner, you could add three more to the tally. Lethbridge is a treasure trove of brilliantly individual wines.” Top 100 Wineries 2026, Halliday Wine Companion

Lethbridge, along with regional pioneer Bannockburn, is far and away our favourite Geelong producer. Ray Nadeson and Maree Collis were both successful medical researchers before succumbing to their desire to create a vineyard and winery in Geelong. They planted vines on their own rootstocks, built a straw-bale winery and house, and farmed the land according to biodynamic beliefs. Their wines are powerful, structured, pure and long-lived.

"To list everything Ray Nadeson and Maree Collis do well would be like trying to catch a waterfall in a bucket. As the domaine marks its 30th anniversary, there is no shortage of achievements to reflect upon—from the compelling Nadeson Collis sparkling program to an eclectic portfolio spanning styles as diverse as Vin Jaune-inspired Savagnin and terracotta-aged Saperavi. Whatever they turn their hand to, Nadeson and Collis seem to possess an unmistakable Midas touch. And yet, for all this curiosity, there are centres of gravity. It’s said the project itself was conceived over a bottle of Burgundy, and to this day Chardonnay and Pinot Noir remain the lodestar—followed closely, one suspects, by cool-climate Shiraz and Riesling."

Lethbridge Ménage à Noir 2025 $39

Ray Nadeson describes Ménage à Noir Pinot Noir as “Lethbridge-lite”; we prefer to think of it as the opening act to this producer’s impressive suite of Pinot Noirs. It’s a blend of sites, but the lion’s share comes from Jack and Lois Doeven’s cool site in Drumborg (Henty). This low-yielding vineyard with well-established vines was planted in schist soils in the 1980s. The balance of the fruit comes from Geelong. 

Lethbridge Vin Jaune Yellow NV $69

Seven years in the making, this is Ray’s tribute to the great “yellow wines” of France’s Jura. Crafted predominantly from Geelong-grown Savagnin, the grapes were whole-bunch pressed and fermented in barrel. After fermentation, the barrels were left with ullage, allowing a natural flor yeast to form on the wine’s surface.

Over time, this flor slowly transformed the wine, consuming alcohol and nutrients while building layers of nutty, lemon-zest complexity. Simultaneously, gentle oxidative ageing introduced deeper notes of walnut, almond, and mushroom.

Lethbridge Pinot Gris 2025 $35

Lethbridge 'Estate' Shiraz 2022 ($51.50 in a 6-pack)

“Herby and meaty with lifted violet aromas and dark chocolate, edged with verdant whole-bunch notes. Incredibly long, incredibly complex. Silken and earthy and orchestral. Absolutely up there with the stars of the Syrah firmament. The quality of that meat, spice and black fruit is absolutely mesmerising. I've tasted plenty of great Aussie Shirazes, this is totally alongside them.” 18.5pts | Richard Hemming MW |  jancisrobinson.com
