Lethbridge Mietta Pinot Noir 2019 is a bold, brooding, and age-worthy expression of Geelong Pinot. From ultra-low-yield MV6 vines and 100% whole-bunch fermentation, it delivers deep black cherry, bergamot, and rhubarb layered with clove, saline minerality, and granitic grip. Fermented wild and aged in 100% new French oak, it’s both structured and seductive—built for the long haul, but already showing striking complexity and elegance.

This is a richly flavored, mid-weighted pinot. A rewarding textural patina of maritime salinity, dutiful freshness and sinuous, nimble tannins flecked with whole-bunch (80%) traits of briar and clove, corralling black cherry, bergamot, rhubarb and a whiff of something salacious. Succulent. This is delicious, with nothing pushed. A mellifluous, long flowing whole. I'd like to see this in eight years. Screw cap.

100% whole-bunch fermentation.
Savoury, dried fruits, ferrous and granitic on the palate. Much less immediate complexity than their estate Pinot Noir, but there is more density and ageworthiness, requiring many more years to mature. Like all great Pinots, this will take its own sweet time to reach the full peak of complexity.

From vines yielding less than 1 tonne/acre, 100% whole bunch, natural yeast ferment,100% new oak. A powerful and structural Pinot Noir.
An unusual presentation of the MV6 clone in the Estate vineyard produces fruit of great density of flavour, and very low yield (0.5 tonnes/acre). This wine was fermented with 100% whole bunch inclusion and had pre-fermentation maceration for 7-10 days. Wild yeast fermentation in small open vats proceeded with daily pignage. Pressing was straight to barrel (100% new French oak) to allow for gross lees contact and natural MLF.
