{"product_id":"lethbridge-suma-park-pinot-noir-2023","title":"Lethbridge Suma Park Pinot Noir 2023","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\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLethbridge Suma Park Pinot Noir is sourced from a limestone escarpment site at Marcus Hill on the Bellarine Peninsula, where thin red clay loam and buckshot over limestone support MV6 vines planted in 1999. The wine is hand-picked and wild-fermented with around 50% whole bunches, then matured in 50% new French oak and bottled un-fined and unfiltered. The 2023 vintage was cool, wet, and low-yielding with a long ripening season, producing bright, elegant wines with fine balance and high natural acidity, with the Bellarine Peninsula noted for delivering depth and flavour. The result is a Pinot Noir of lifted red fruit, savoury complexity, and a finely structured, mineral-tinged palate.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"review-card\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"review-card__content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"review-card__note\"\u003e\"From a vineyard on the Bellarine facing the ocean as opposed to the bay. A bright ruby red. A pure-fruited and perfumed bouquet of red fruits, lavender and allspice. Very bright and youthful on the medium-bodied, gently structured palate. An elegant and persistent wine to drink now and over the next 10 years.\" \u003cstrong\u003e96pts | Philip Rich | Halliday Wine Companion\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"review-card__note\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"review-card\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"review-card__content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"review-card__note\"\u003e\"Floral, pretty and delicate, with aromas of bright red fruits, rose petals, blood oranges, violets and a touch of earth and spice. The palate is refined and pure, with crunchy tannins, bright acidity and a mineral undertone. Really expressive and charming, with plenty of pinot nuances. 50% whole-cluster fermentation.\" \u003cstrong\u003e96pts | JamesSuckling.com\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Cloudwine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48632636014747,"sku":null,"price":78.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0516\/1585\/8843\/files\/Screenshot2026-05-25170118.png?v=1779692554","url":"https:\/\/goodsoulwines.com.au\/products\/lethbridge-suma-park-pinot-noir-2023","provider":"Good Soul Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
