'La Bise' (French for the kiss) is Tash Mooney's (ex-Fox Gordon) solo project.I can't avoid the temptation to talk of the kiss of strawberry (fraise) that leads here, fresh and fun in the glass. Delicate hints of spice waft from the glass, providing a little tickle for the olfactory organ.
The palate is where the wine comes into its own: more spice evident, red berries - by virtue of cranberry, a little macerated raspberry - and a drying, chalky texture that delicately coats the cheeks.
There's a touch more fruit sweetness than your typical Provençale rosé, and perhaps that textural crunch. But mate, this is the Adelaide Hills meets the Tuscan Hills (Sangiovese), Rioja (Tempranillo) with a little textural Pinot Gris for good measure. Don't think, drink, a let yourself be transported to whichever destination you choose. 91
