2022 La Linea Mencía Red - Vintage 2022 was relatively mild: a dry, warm autumn ensured that the healthy crops seen across all varieties developed great flavour and colour. Our Mencia was no exception, and was picked on 11th April at 12.7 baumé.

A beautiful yet fun red wine. It does justice to the variety, an almost pinot noir-like sleekness and svelteness to the wine with bright blood orange acidity, Italianate herb-laced tannins and a pleasingly smudged, spice mix finish. Plenty to sink one's teeth into while being quite lively on its feet. Super drink. - 94 points, Mike Bennie

About the region

South Australia · Adelaide Hills

South Australia grows more wine than any other Australian state, and its subregions behave almost like separate countries. Barossa and Eden Valley give Shiraz and Riesling, McLaren Vale leans to Grenache, Clare Valley to dry Riesling, Adelaide Hills to Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, and Coonawarra to Cabernet on red terra rossa soil. Strict quarantine has kept phylloxera out, so some vineyards still work vines planted in the nineteenth century.
