Description
In a nutshell:
A lively, complex and quite powerful South Australian Grenache from McLaren Vale.
The lowdown:
McLaren Vale Grenache is certainly something the winemakers at Thistledown specialise in and their various cuvées bring out many of the differing aspects of this grape. This expression comes from vines up to 100 years old grown on a single site in the Clerandon sub-region of McLaren Vale. After hand picking the grapes were wild fermented in large open vessels before being pressed off into a mix of used and new 300 litre French oak hogsheads for a period of twelve months. It's packed with aromas of ripe raspberries and rich brambles and these silky black fruits follow to the palate and couple with deep, rich, warming spices, hints of violet and black cherries. The flavours linger nicely as it heads to the lengthy finish.
When to drink:
Muscular, yet elegantly silky this is a great match to things like beef casserole, or coq au vin.
Suitable for Vegans
