Comprised of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, the 2009 Vintage “M” Cuvee gives a very pale salmon pink color and an expressive nose of fresh raspberries, wild strawberries and lemongrass with hints of lightly browned toast and brioche. Delicately fruited in the mouth, it has attractive creamy, vibrant berry fruit with lively acid and a medium-long finish. Drink it now through 2013+. Based to the north-east of Australia’s capital city of Canberra, the Lerida Estate vineyard was first planted in 1997 on the lower slopes of the Lake George Range with emphasis on Pinot Noir.Importers: Vignobles LVDH USA; tel.
