Description

While Thistledown put extraordinary effort into highlighting unique single-vineyard characteristics of Grenache, their love of the grape also leads them to create a more approachable style for everyday drinking.

That’s what this wine is - fruit sourced from a number of vineyards with the goal of making a slurpable, easy going Grenache for weekday consumption. Lots of lovely red berry fruit, classic varietal perfume, with good length and a nice finish; an everyday Aussie banger.

Fermenting each parcel of fruit naturally on its own, their aim is to create a harmonious wine that pleases the palate; well done gents, mission accomplished.

    Great value grenache

    Lovely entry level grenache. Vibrant red fruits in a moreish juicy style. Delicious!

Sourced from a number of old vineyards in the Riverland and McLaren Vale, some of which are dry grown bush vines.
All vineyards are vinified in small batches, separately. Wild ferments, whole bunch inclusion, larger oak and no filtration or fining help define the delicious, energetic character of the wine.

Thistledown

Thistledown wines was founded by UK natives Fergal Tynan, and Giles Cooke, the two MWs met while they began their WSET studies and formed a fast and strong bond.

While they have vineyards and wineries across the globe, Thistledown holds a special place in their hearts, with many of Giles' first forays into MW wine travel happening around Australia.

With renowned local winemaker Peter Leske on hand year-round, Giles is still quite hands-on with Thistledown, ensuring to be downunder throughout the year at key points in the winemaking process.
