Mietta Pinot Noir starts veraison
Monday, 16 January 2012 21:50
We have just seen the first signs of veraison in our vineyard with the Mietta and other blocks of Pinot Noir starting to change from green to red. We have also used the irrigation in the last week for the first time in two years. The vineyard looks great at the moment and all signs are pointing to 2012 being a great year in Geelong.
A Celebration of Pinot Noir
Wednesday, 27 February 2013 01:55
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.
Mietta Hits New York
Wednesday, 27 February 2013 03:22
every week we seem to get emails requesting wine for various events, tastings, shows etc and so about six weeks ago when Gordon Little from Little Peacock Imports and Eric Asimov from the New York Times asked us to send wine for a dinner at New York restaurant The Spotted Pig we thought it sounded like something a bit special.
The dinner was intended to showcase Australian red wines and to breakdown some of the stereotypes that exist, namely that Australia only produces big bold shiraz.
We were very excited last week when The New York Times published an article that featured the 12 favourite wines from this tasting and the 2008 Mietta Pinot Noir rates a mention. If you are interested to read article click on the link below.
