La Violetta
Great Southern, Western Australia
Winemaker: Andrew Hoadley

Andrew "AJ" Hoadley is Western Australia's iconoclast winemaker, although he'd probably say that's putting it a bit strongly...regardless, his fledgling winery (first release - 2008 La Ciornia, in 2010) has re-imagined traditional styles in Australia's largest state. That one of Andrew's wines is named Das Sakrileg ("The Sacrilege") should speak loudly enough.
The La Violetta wines offer power and precision, and drinkability in spades. Grapes are sourced from established vineyards from around the Great Southern region, and AJ plays a big part in overseeing the management of the vines, ensuring vine health and optimum ripeness.
All the wines are fermented spontaneously, and whilst none are filtered, some undergo a light fining. They are wines of presence and impact, but also of finesse and verve.
The following wines are currently available :
2016 SPUNK Nat (Riesling/Shiraz)
2016 Yé-Yé Blanc Riesling/Viognier/Gewurztraminer
2016 Yé-Yé Grise Gewurztraminer/Riesling/Pinot Gris
2016 Yé-Yé Rouge Pinot Noir/Syrah/Tempranillo
2015 Nova Syrova
52% Ciras, 34% Cannonau, 8% Picoutener, 4% Rulandské Modre and 2% Monastrell
(aka Syrah, Grenache, Nebbiolo, Pinot Noir and Mourvedre)
2015 Das Sakrileg Riesling (Great Southern) - OUT OF STOCK -
2014 Up! Shiraz (Great Southern)
2010 La Ciornia Shiraz (Great Southern)
2013 Le Rayon V Malbec/Cabernet (Great Southern)
2013 Almirante y Obispo Grenache/Mataro/Tempranillo (Geographe)
