 |
| An outstanding example of cool climate Shiraz from Geelong. Magnificent colour – deep garnet with a touch of purple. Perfumed nose of violets, liquorice, graphite followed by white pepper. The palate is well structured, Northern Rhône in style, with spicy notes complemented by red berry, sour plum and dark cherry. A wine of great finesse, fine grained tannins and excellent length and persistence. Cellar 5-10 years. |

| The fruit for the Lethbridge 'Indra' Shiraz is sourced from the Indra Block on the Lethbridge Estate vineyard. This block, over the years, has produced fruit of intensity and structure which sets it apart from other parcels of fruit. The vine material planted has been selected from some of the oldest Shiraz clones in Australia. The Indra Block is also co-planted with 3% Viognier vines making the 'Indra' Shiraz a field blend of Shiraz and Viognier. |

| Bottled under both Diam cork and screw-cap for 2006, and screw-cap only for future vintages. |
