Grenache
Thistledown Gorgeous Grenache 2022
Grenache is Australia’s signature grape variety and Thistledown are slightly obsessed with it. Utilising a range of premium vineyards across South Australia, they crafted a wine that captures all that is good about Grenache. Aromatic, deceptively light but with beautiful wild fruit, and slurpy, supple tannins.
Tasting: Aromatic and lifted on the nose with a beautifully layered, textural palate with wild strawberry and spice.
Viticulture: Sourced from a number of old vineyards in the Riverland and McLaren Vale, some of which are dry grown bush vines.
Winemaking: 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.
