Natasha Mooney has hand selected vineyards for the La Bise label which have been given the kiss of life. The case in point is this remarkable Sangiovese that is sourced from two northern vineyards in the Adelaide Hills and two different Sangiovese clones that blend big round berries with cherry driven fruit flavours and the smaller, more concentrated berries that give the wine an aniseed and blackcurrant accent. A wine with great texture and mouthfeel that has density while maintaining its lifted fruit aromas.

A premium, dry sake produced with glossy rice polished to at least 50% of its original size. Light and complex, it has a fragrant nose of white chocolate, caramel and vanilla, leading to a fresh citrus fruit palate with a crisp, clean finish.
