Tasting Notes:

The Thief? Barossa Valley Shiraz 2018

In 2018, after a long and mild growing season, the fruit had beautiful structure and powerful colour. I associated this to be a sign of powerful fruit so vinification was long and time on skins extended to get the most out of the fruit. The 2018 is an intense Shiraz that has started to open up after 18 months in oak and 8 months in bottle. Oak maturation was in 20 % new barels for some partial fermentation and the balance in older puncheons.

La Bise Adelaide Hills Nero d'Avola 2018

Nero d’Avola is Italian for Black Devil which reflects the small and intensely coloured fruit. The grapes for this wine were sourced from the Kersbrook vineyard of Caj Amadio.

The variety has very unique character in its red and blackberry fruit flavour and tannin profile.

In the winery, the fruit was fermented for a shorter time on skins than I use with other varieties, only 5 days and then spent 6 months in larger oak barrels for maturation before bottling in October. A fresher wine style that works well in all seasons.

La Bise Adelaide Hills Sangiovese 2018

Sangiovese sourced from Caj Amadio’s vineyard in Kersbrook. Caj’s vineyard has 5 sites of Sangiovese and these sites have very different aspects and characters, I am lucky enough to be able to choose the fruit that I need each year based on the vintage conditions and which site is looking to have the best flavours for my style.

I like that it ripens late and I get to spend more time walking the vineyards and continuing my affair.

Sangiovese is a wine with texture and mouthfeel. It’s a wine that has density while maintaining its lifted fruit aromas of aniseed and cherry.

For a twist, we make a small portion of Amarone style Sangiovese which is dried for 6 weeks in the vineyard, fermented and added back to the cuvee in small amounts. This adds texture and mid palate.”

Technical:

The Thief? Barossa Valley Shiraz 2018

The Thief Shiraz This is the legend of my Great, Great Grandfather Walter, an 1840’s Australian settler. Walter was asked to tend a cow while his neighbour was away for several months. During this time, the cow mysteriously died. The neighbour returned making accusations of theft. Walter refused to admit any fault, as he knew it was not his. The Catholic Church excommunicated him and as a result was buried near the Melrose Catholic cemetery, on the other side of their fence. I have created this wine to honour the legend of my Great, Great grandfather and that damned cow.

La Bise Adelaide Hills Sangiovese 2018

Working with Sangiovese is like having a love affair with a hot-blooded Italian man for me. Its temperamental and every year manages to surprise me in both affection and totally frustrating ways.Sangiovese sourced from Caj Amadio’s vineyard in Kersbrook.

I like that it ripens late and I get to spend more time walking the vineyards and continuing my affair.

In the winery we use cultured and natural yeast on a mix of parcels of fruit.

Ferment is 16 days long and at cooler temperatures which suits Sangiovese. The wine then goes to large oak barrels for maturation. The La Bise style is about fruit first so oak flavours are very integrated.

Accolades & Awards:

The Thief? Barossa Valley Shiraz 2018

94 Point Rated - Sam Kim Wine Orbit

This is youthfully attractive and perfumed on the nose showing black/blueberry, toasted spice, hazelnut, tar and dark cocoa characters, followed by a concentrated palate that’s wonderfully flavoursome and lingering. It’s silky and plush with layers of delectable flavours.

91 Point Rated - Campbell Mattinson The Wine Front

It takes time to open up but this is a beefy, earthen, (dark) berried shiraz with saltbush and asphalt-like inflections. It’s rich but both cohesive and neat. Right now it’s playing its cards close; it’ll be better in time.

Highly Rated - Tyson Stelzer Halliday Wine Companion

Estate vineyard, Greenock; 25yo vines; matured 18 months in 20% new barriques, balance in seasoned puncheons. Gamey, leathery, spicy and earthy, this is a complex take on Greenock shiraz, bathed in the terroir of Barossa smoked mettwurst and graced with fine-grained tannins. Ready to drink now.

La Bise Adelaide Hills Nero d'Avola 2018

90 Point Rated - Jeni Port Halliday Wine Companion

Picked early, 5 days on skins with 20% whole bunch. Matured in old puncheon for 9 months. Grapes were sourced from one of the nero d'Avola pioneers in the Adelaide Hills, Caj Amadio. Planted in 2006 they are coming into maturity with corresponding flavour development of sweet black cherry, red plum and licorice. Like some makers, Tash Mooney looks to bright fruit intensity, and for her that means toning down the tannin. It's the way a number of producers are heading but it will reduce ageing ability. Still, it's plummy and sweet-scented and good drinking now.

90 Point Rated - Campbell Mattinson The Wine Front

Nero from the Adelaide Hills. It has meat on its bones. Tar and licorice, peppercorn and iron. It’s a little round-shouldered but the mid-palate offers plenty. It’s clean. It has substance. It’s not hot with alcohol or in any way overdone. It’s pretty good.

La Bise Adelaide Hills Sangiovese 2018

92 Point Rated - Sam Kim Wine Orbit

Bright and attractively fruited, the inviting bouquet shows dark cherry, cranberry, mixed spice, olive and toasted almond characters, followed by a flavoursome palate that’s juicy and refreshing. An elegant expression offering lovely drinking.

92 Point Rated - Campbell Mattinson The Wine Front

Sangiovese from the Adelaide Hills.

Good style of wine. Savoury and meaty but with solid fruit in support. Cherry-plum, sweet spices, a touch of malt, a kind of choc-licorice character. It’s not a hefty wine but it has more weight and substance than you often/usually find with this variety. It has a decent spread of tannin too. Worth buying. Bit of a standout in its class.

91 Point Rated - Jeni Port Halliday Wine Companion

21 day ferment, 12 months in stainless steel tank, 9 months in large, old puncheons. According to the maker, sangiovese can be temperamental. No obvious signs here, the wine purrs along nicely combining upfront Aussie sweet, ripe fruit flavours of cherry, plum and raspberry with fast-paced Italian-style savoury tannins. Smooth across the palate.
