Lethbridge @ Rootstock Sydney 2013
Another busy weekend in Sydney with Wine judging at the Australasian Biodynamic and Organic Wineshow, followed by showcasing Lethbridge Wines at the inaugural Rootstock Wine Festival Sydney, an event the brought together over thirty artisan wineries from around the world, along with some of Australia's most interesting and unique farmers, producers, chefs, sommeliers, writers and thinkers as well as a hipster crowd who share common philosophies on sustainability and authenticity.
The event was a great success and an opportunity for both Ray and Alex to try some uber cool wines such as Guisseppe Renaldi's Barolo, Radikon from Fruili, an orange coloured skin contact Pinot Gris and a delicious Bobar Yarra Valley shiraz made using carbonic maceration.
Overall take home message was that there are some really interesting and delicious wines made using organic and biodynamic philosophies.

A Celebration of Pinot Noir
Rays been in his element recently as an invited speaker at the Mornington Peninsula International Pinot Noir celebration, taking him back to his academic days. This bi-annual event should become a pilgrimage for pinot lovers across Australia. There was a stellar cast of international Pinot Noir producers including, Josh Jenssen, from Calera, Ted Lemon (Littori), Etienne Grivot (Vognes Romanee), Marquis Sauvage (Burn Cottage, Central Otago) as well as a few local stars.
There were some great wines presented and the stylistic differences between Victorian regions is becoming more apparent as winemakers have really begun to get in touch with and understand their individual terrior. Interestingly the savoury, tannins of Lethbridge, especially our Mietta looked more aligned with Burgundy than it did with either the NZ or Californian Pinot Noirs and although not necessarily the favourite with the crowd the MWs present seemed impressed.
