{"product_id":"lethbridge-vin-jaune-yellow-nv","title":"Lethbridge Vin Jaune Yellow NV","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\u003eSeven 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrawn mainly from the 2013, 2014, and 2015 vintages, the final blend harmonises youthful brightness with richly nutty savoury depth. The result is a distinctive and compelling wine, best enjoyed alongside aged hard cheeses or a Comté soufflé.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"review-card__note\"\u003e\"2026 Wild Card of the Year. From a tiny, 0.1ha savagnin vineyard in Waurn Ponds which was originally thought to be albariño. Mainly from '13 and kept under flor for seven years. A very bright gold with green tinges. Ray's homage to Vin Jaune from the Jura and a delicious one at that. Dry, textured, gently oxidative and nutty, finishing saline and long. Love the label, natural beeswax seal and rustic Calvados bottle, too!\" \u003cstrong\u003e96pts | Philip Rich | Halliday Wine Companion\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Cloudwine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48632565661851,"sku":null,"price":69.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0516\/1585\/8843\/files\/Screenshot2026-05-25164721.png?v=1779691844","url":"https:\/\/goodsoulwines.com.au\/products\/lethbridge-vin-jaune-yellow-nv","provider":"Good Soul Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
