The La Bise Adelaide Hills Mixed Dozen showcases the purity, elegance and cool-climate finesse that define this premium South Australian region. Crafted from carefully selected parcels grown high in the Hills, each wine reflects a philosophy centred on flavour, texture and balance, expressed through minimal intervention and exceptional vineyard management. This selection highlights two standout varietals—Pinot Gris and Shiraz—each highly rated and celebrated for their refinement and drinkability.

The La Bise Adelaide Hills Pinot Gris 2024 x 6  - 12.50% Alc, 92 Points Sam Kim Wine Orbit, is a beautifully ripened cool-climate white crafted from fruit left to hang long into the dry autumn, allowing natural richness to develop. In the glass it opens with vibrant aromas of lime zest, brioche, ripe pear and crunchy apple, lifted by subtle florals and a gentle hint of flint. The palate is elegant, pristine and finely textured, carrying juicy pear and stone fruit flavours through to a mouth-watering, lingering finish driven by bright, crunchy acidity. Its delicate richness and fresh energy make it ideal with dishes like grilled chicken, creamy seafood pastas, roast pork with apple, or soft brie—foods that highlight both the wine’s finesse and understated power.

Equally expressive is the La Bise Adelaide Hills Shiraz 2023 x 6 - 13.90% Alc, 91 Points Sam Kim Wine Orbit, a cool-climate Shiraz crafted with a focus on mouthfeel, layered flavour and drinkability rather than sheer weight. Aged for 18 months in French oak, the wine opens with bold aromas of ripe plum and redcurrant, supported by warm spice and roasted hazelnut. The palate is rich and densely flavoured yet beautifully balanced, offering concentrated plum, spice and earthy complexity with a long, refined finish. It pairs seamlessly with chargrilled lamb cutlets, mushroom risotto, pepper-crusted steak, or roasted root vegetables, enhancing both its power and cool-climate elegance.

Together, these wines form a mixed dozen that perfectly captures the pedigree of the Adelaide Hills—expressive aromatics, purity of fruit, layered texture and exceptional balance in every bottle.
