2020 Lethbridge ‘La Mezcla’

2020 Lethbridge ‘La Mezcla’

One of the first wines we ever made at Lethbridge was our ‘Old Vine Malbec’.  This was back in 2001 with fruit from Ken Campbells vineyard in Mount Dunned.  The following year he pulled out the vines.  I don’t know if he was trying to tell us something, but we still have people asking us if make this wine. We have dabbled with Malbec over the years and we love exploring Argentinean wines. But if you know anything about Lethbridge, you know we like to push boundaries and experiment, so this wine is our Argentinean style blend of Malbec and Merlot, La Mezcla. 

The Malbec comes from an Argentinean clone grown in the Heathcote region and contributes beautiful blue fruit character. The Merlot is from the cool climate Strathbogie Ranges to give roundness and a fresh acid line.  A beautifully balance medium bodied wine, taste for yourself!
