Thistledown Wine Company
Thistledown is the vision of Master of Wine, Giles Cooke. Working with Grenache growers in unique sites across Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale and Riverland, Giles makes elegant, fine, aromatic reds. Choosing to focus on the Grenache grape shows the belief Giles has in this special variety. Thistledown Grenaches are made in small quantities in the Adelaide Hills.
Gorgeous Grenache
Grenache is Australia’s signature grape variety and we’re slightly obsessed with it. The white version is still rare in Australia but capable of beautifully textured, citrus laced wines of great drinkability.
Tasting Notes
Aromatic and lifted on the nose with a beautifully layered, textural palate with wild strawberry and spice.
Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
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.
