{"product_id":"lethbridge-menage-a-noir-2025","title":"Lethbridge Ménage à Noir 2025","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere are few tales as impressive as that of Lethbridge Wines. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRay 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFermented with 30% whole bunches in a 3,000-litre wooden fermenter with regular pumpovers, the wine was aged in a mixture of old and new (approximately 10%) French oak of various sizes (225, 300 and 2,500 litres). Here’s a lovely example of this label, a spicy and fleshy Pinot with crunchy Satsuma plum and forest floor flavours and the kind of hearty core that is so typical of the Lethbridge style. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cloudwine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48632515526811,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0516\/1585\/8843\/files\/Screenshot2026-05-25163422.png?v=1779690931","url":"https:\/\/goodsoulwines.com.au\/products\/lethbridge-menage-a-noir-2025","provider":"Good Soul Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
