The Wine Front – "From Lenswood in the Adelaide Hills. Wow. This is tip-top for dinking. It’s distinctive, individual, tannic and imposing, and yet it’s straight-out delicious as well. Highly drinkable but with attitude. Iron, berries, graphite and fragrant dry herbs. Tart in a good way, juicy and alive. Did I mention tannin? It’s got plenty. It’s struck with it. And it makes it work. The guns are ablaze here." - Campbell Mattinson (The Wine Front)

La Linea, taking its name from the Spanish word for 'line', has carved a niche for itself in the competitive world of wine by primarily focusing on specific varietals. Notably, La Linea is recognized for its dedication to the expressive and versatile Tempranillo grape, often associated with the vineyards of Spain. Through rigorous experimentation and cultivation, La Linea has managed to produce wines that beautifully express this grape's unique character, leading to wines with vibrant fruit flavors, subtle tannins, and a characteristic depth. In addition to Tempranillo, La Linea's portfolio showcases other varietals, but their commitment to mastering the nuances of each grape type remains consistent.
La Linea wines hail from the renowned wine-producing region of the Adelaide Hills in South Australia. This region, known for its cool climate and diverse soil compositions, provides the perfect terroir for cultivating grapes that result in wines with balanced acidity, aromatic bouquets, and distinct flavors. The Adelaide Hills' high altitude and varied microclimates have played a significant role in shaping the characteristic profile of La Linea's offerings, adding to their reputation as wines with a genuine sense of place.
Identifying the "best" from La Linea's offerings is a task often influenced by personal palate preferences and the specific qualities one seeks in a wine. However, given their dedication to the Tempranillo grape, La Linea's various Tempranillo expressions, from young and lively versions to aged and more complex ones, often receive notable acclaim. Their ability to harness the grape's versatility, resulting in wines that range from fresh and fruit-forward to deep and layered, has made them favorites among critics and enthusiasts alike. Moreover, their occasional blends, where Tempranillo may be combined with other grapes, showcase La Linea's innovative spirit and have also garnered attention.
La Linea, while emphasizing quality and craftsmanship, understands the diverse needs of wine enthusiasts. Their range encompasses wines that cater to various price brackets. Some of their limited-edition vintages and specially crafted blends might command higher prices due to the meticulous care, rarity, and unique characteristics they possess. However, La Linea also offers wines that are more accessible in terms of price, ensuring that lovers of good wine can experience the essence of their brand without a hefty price tag. Their affordability does not compromise the intrinsic La Linea quality, ensuring every bottle offers value for its cost.
